This little guy is crazy busy!!! He transitions with ease from his belly to sitting. He gets on all fours from a sitting position & rocks, but he either lands on his belly or transitions back to sitting. He just can't figure out how to works his knees/legs yet to propel himself forward. That doesn't stop him though! He moves onto his belly from a sitting position, rolls to where he wants to go, and then gets back into a sitting position once he's there. Presto! Who needs crawling?! LOL.
He constantly has his hands in his mouth...or some other object that he can gnaw on. Literally...any object. Just yesterday he rolled on over to where Chad was sitting and started gnawing on Chad's big toe!!! Ewwwww! Yuck!!!! Poor boy still doesn't have any teeth. We joke that he's going to be the only 16 year old on a date eating pureed food. LOL!! Seriously though, we can now see the outline of 4 teeth on the bottom and two on the top. They even seem to be progressing closer towards the surface, but they haven't shown face yet. They're definitely bothering him, as you can see in the picture above.
Grey had been on a fairly decent run of health up until the end of month 8 when he was diagnosed with his 2nd ear infection. This ended up aggravating his reflux, which had gotten much better. Unfortunately Grey dealt with a week's worth of vomiting before we figured out it was his reflux. This caused his weight to drop a bit also. The good news is that once we figured all this out and increased his reflux med, his appetite was back up to normal in no time and he gained enough weight to get back on the growth curve. Yahoo!! Overall it's been a great month. We love seeing his little personality shine through!
Here's some shots from his 9th month.
Cheers!
