9/7 month check up

Jude is doing well. Still a little on the skinny side. But he's doing great otherwise. Not crawling yet, but you can tell he wants to really bad. Still a funny little eater. He's starting to babble a little too. lots of meh meh meh. And he's got this funny thing he does where he gasps. It kind of sounds like the noise from the movie The Grudge. It's cute when he does it though. He sometimes will sleep the entire night and sometimes wakes up around 4 or 5 for a bottle. Which I love. I want to fatten him up as much as possible. He did get two new front top teeth. It was not fun. He let us know every second that those teeth were on their way.

Here are his percentiles

Weight 16 lbs 11 oz 14%
Height 28" 75%
Head circ. ?(can't remember) 48%

So doing pretty well. At first the percentiles they gave me were like 2% and things, but then I realized they didn't change it make it for a 31 weeker. It made a big difference and I was able to put the brown paper bag away. :) Just kidding. I have really been good about just letting things be and not obsessing. I think. I have been trying at least. Anyway, here are some pics.

His first bonk that left a mark and I'm glad it wasn't any higher.


His favorite place in the house. He's always happy if he's in the sink. So much to explore.


It's nice he loves the sink cause he knows how to make a mess!!


We got to go visit my amazing aunt that works with babies with developmental needs including a lot of preemies. We got to explore her amazing toy room. It was so fun and Jude loved it as long as my aunt kept her distance. STRANGER DANGER!!


Still lovin the bath. Isn't he the cutest!


Sometimes when I put him down at night I just want to hold him like this all night.
