Sawyers' Adventures: October 2012

Today we had J's 9 month check-up. He's 24 lbs and 30 inches tall. That puts him between the 90th and 95th percentiles in both categories! He's a big boy! He crawls, pulls himself to standing while holding furniture and goes from furniture to furniture. His new favorite thing to do is pull out a kitchen chair, stand while holding the chair, and then slide the chair around. He can climb stairs, which was a huge shocker for us! He also likes to jump in his crib..."Three Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" hasn't quite made an impact yet. He loves peek-a-boo, hide and seek, and tag. He has 4 teeth now, two on the bottom and two on the top! He likes to dance and will dance to music, especially if it's Yo Gabba Gabba. We let him watch Yo Gabba Gabba when he is sick and he loves it! He prefers whichever parent is not holding him at that moment. He can wave, clap, shake his head when we ask and put his arms up when we cheer. He loves his BYU Cosmo stuffed cougar and loves the BYU fight song (we're brain washing him). He likes his sippy cup and finger food. He is always smiling at home and loves to laugh. He can't help but giggle when he knows he's doing something he's not supposed to. He still sucks him thumb...but it helps because he doesn't give us much of a fuss when we put him down to sleep. He's quite adventurous and is always busy.
