More of his sweet little personality is shining through these days. He’s pretty happy to play with a basketful of toys. He also started having "conversations" with us. He’ll do this fake laugh thing, and then we do it, and he does it back. It’s cute!
He is needy for his mamma at times. That’s usually when he needs to burp, eat, go to sleep, or be comforted in some way. If he’s fussy with someone else and then I take him, he frequently stops fussing -- pretty much immediately.
Dayton’s had a big month full of milestones, too.
- He sat up by himself for the first time during the last week of July.
- He tried to pull himself up for the first time during the first week of August.
- He got his first tooth on August 9.
- He got his second tooth on August 13.
- He pulled himself up (successfully!) for the first time during the second week of August.
- And he had an allergic reaction all over his body -- probably to penicillin -- while we were on vacation in Arkansas during the first week of August. (Pictures to come).
Dayton’s 9 month stats
- Weight - 20 pounds, 8 ounces - 66th%
- Length - 26 inches - 35th%
- Head circumference - 48 cm - 99th%
He is very content to army crawl. I occasionally see him lift his body up and crawl on hands and knees, but it seems like he doesn’t really care to crawl that way. And since he can pull himself up now, he spends a lot of time doing that!
He just might be getting better at sleeping through the night. With the penicillin reaction, an ear infection, getting two teeth, and just being a baby, he’s had a difficult time sleeping through the night. {I didn’t enjoy the 3:30am wake-up call each day!} But during this past week he has done much, much better at sleeping ALL through the night. And I’m so, SO thankful!!!
Dayton loves to see Claire. I enjoy seeing them interact. I love hearing Dayton laugh and laugh when Claire or someone else does something he thinks is funny.
