McKinnon: 9 months

My little "Mack-Man"... you are NINE months old!
And i swear, you get more handsome every day!
Your Mommy and Daddy and Sister LOVE you!

Ok, so as usual, i'm behind on posting this. Which means i'm behind on writing this.
Which means i've probably forgotten a lot :-( I'm sorry, Mack! You ARE important and i DO want to remember everything. But little buddy, we're in what we call "Baseball Season" so Daddy's gone a lot and Mommy's tired. So please forgive me! :-)

STATS:
29.5 inches long (84%)
21 lbs 1oz (56%)
17.5 cm head (24%)

When i come in to get mack from nap these days, he is peeking out! Its adorable and makes for a great game of peek-a-boo! (dont worry Emily, thats a breathable bumper and we only started using one recently to keep appendages from getting stuck in the slats while sleeping!)

Mack is still a thumb sucker! As my friend Laura said, its great b/c they dont lose their thumb in the bed at night. Bad b/c i cant take it away. In time.... in time. (like, a long time from now! ha!)

Just for fun cause i NEVER have pics w/ my kiddies!

At 9 months Mack is:
-wearing 9-12 month clothes (literally happened a few days before he turned 9 months)
-in size 3 diapers in the day, size 4 at night with a "pad" (diaper doubler... best thing ever)
-napping 9-11 and 1-3 each day.
-goes to bed at 7pm and SLEEPS (hard) till 7am :-) Thank you sweet Jesus!
-taking four bottles a day of 5-6 ounces each
-eating "solids" three times a day (7am, 11am and 6pm)
-sooooo close to crawling!
-GETTING TO A SITTING POSITION! (this started literally 2 days before he turned 9months)
-has SIX teeth (got the 6th one on the same day that he got to a sitting position... big day!)
-rolls everywhere as his "mode of transportation". literally. all over the house
-waves hello and byebye

working on getting to sitting... YAY!

Mack LOVES spud. Too bad Spud doesnt really love mack. yet. we hope he will. someday!

-is growing out of his "witching hour" from 5-6 pm. He's still cranky some nights, but is much more pleasant in general (i think getting to sitting on his own really helped this)
-can point to MY nose if i ask him "where's mommy's nose?"
-can point to my eyes, as well, when asked

Mack LOVES his big sister. He's always looking for her and they play games of blowing raspberries at each other all the time. Rhyan loves to make him laugh. She has a hard time sharing toys with him and will often take his "good" toy and bring him another toy. Like, a magnet or something else totally useless :-)

Oh, how quickly things change. This TOTALLY captures my kids. Macks crying, Rhyans looking confused and frightened. Makes me laugh :-)

His TEETH!

My sweet, happy baby boy!

"AHHHHHHCHOOO!"

"that was funny!"

OH mack. I could eat you up. You're scrumptious and i love being your mama!
However, i would seriously appreciate it if 1. you'd learn to say "mama" and 2. if you'd STOP SCREAMING! You shrill and squeak in the happiest tone and its giving me a headache :-)
Thanks.
