9 Months Old ~



Nathan is crawling and pulling himself up now. Just about every time we go in to get him out of bed he is already standing in his bed. Jared moved his mattress to the lowest level today. Nathan is having so much fun, he is keeping Mommy and Daddy very busy trying to keep him out of trouble. Two weeks ago tonight he had his first big boo-boo. He was trying to stand up at the end table and lost his balance with the hand he was leaning and hit his head on the shelf of the end table. I grabbed him really quick to comfort him and didn't realize right away he had actually cut the skin open. We were lucky, it was right above his eyebrow. Jared and I were very nervous about it being so close to his eye and it didn't seem to stop bleeding, so we went to convenient care and they put some derma-bond on it. He was a really big boy while we were there, he didn't cry once. He will have a little scar, but nothing too bad. Everyone reminds me it will be the first of many.

He hasn't tried too many new foods lately. We have tried to give him bread/toast, but he doesn't want anything to do with it. We did give him some of a Kraft cheese slice and he seemed to like it. Cottage cheese he does not like, I think it's the texture.
He weighed in at home at 25 lbs. and measured 31 in. We'll see what the Doctor says in a week at his check-up.
