Ben at 9 months

Spring has sprung and our little bug is 9 months old! A nine month old baby is a MOBILE baby. He is on the go! He gets cuter and cuter and we are having a blast!

Here are the milestones and changes that we’ve seen over the past three months:

Ben got his first two teeth at 7 months.

Carrots were his first food after cereal, and he LOVES carrots, though honestly, he hasn’t met a food he doesn’t like yet. At 9 months he was eating pretty much anything we let him try. He loves cereal bars and sandwiches and anything else that he can swipe from our plates.

He got his third & fourth teeth at 8 months.

He learned to hold his own bottle and then mastered the art of the sippy cup.

He says consonant sounds… mostly bah and da da da

Ben learned to sign “more” and he does it all the time!

He started crawling and pulling up in his ninth month.

He loves his “Walk Along” and anything else that can function in the same way (a cardboard box, the laundry basket, etc).

We just love those sweet grins and chunky cheeks!
