Crew {9 Months Old}

Crew is 9 months old.

Here's what you have been up to over the past month...

Visiting Santa.

Seeing Christmas lights.

Celebrating Christmas at Grampy & Grammy's house.

Celebrating Christmas at the cottage.

Matching pajamas with your cousins.

Being an elf.

Standing up on your own (December 27, 2017).

You started waving on January 3, 2018.

Your 9 month stats:

• Weight: 17 lbs 11 oz (17th percentile) 
• Length: 28.3 inches(48th percentile)
• Clothes: You are wearing size 6-9 month clothes and 9 month sleepers.
• Shoes: You wear size 3-6 month shoes
• Diapers: You developed a rash in the your diaper area, arm pits and behind the ears this month so we had to change over to paper diapers to see if we could get it under control. We stopped giving him all gluten and the rashes improved. Between us and the pediatrician we determine you have seborrheic dermatitis and a possible gluten intolerance.  We now have to keep you moisturized and away from certain scents and lotions to avoid rashes.  And we avoid any gluten foods.
• Food: Mommy milk and water. Feeding has been a little more challenging since you can't have gluten.  But you love meats, fruits and some veggies. You love sloppy joes and fish, pears, apples, bananas and green pepper.
• Development: You pulled yourself to standing on December 27, 2017. You are a quick crawler. You started waving on January 3, 2018.
• Sleep:  You still get up about once at night for a quick snack and then go back to sleep. You usually take a good morning or afternoon nap with a shorter nap at the opposite time of day.
• What I love about you: You are having so much fun playing with the toys now that you can move between toys.  You are a smiling, giggling, happy boy.

Happy 9 months Crew!
