Coye turned 9 months the beginning of this month. He has grown and changed a lot this past month. We went for his well check last week and he weighs 16 lbs. 15 oz. and is 28 inches long. While he seems healthy and happy, the doctor was concerned that he hasn't gained much weight in the past month and dropped in his percentiles. She wants him to come back in a month for a weight check, so my goal is to feed him more solids and try to nurse him more to get his weight up. Hopefully that will help and the little peanut will grow. Other than that, he's doing really good. Here's what he's been up to this past month:
- He's a good eater and will eat anything I give him. He's still eating mostly pureed food, but does like Cheerios and puffs.
- He can now drink out of a sippy cup. He doesn't get much out of it, but he can do it.
- He figured out how to crawl and has gotten very speedy. The girls are learning that they have to keep things up or Coye will get into their stuff.
- After a few days of crawling, he also figured out how to pull himself up onto his knees and then how to sit back up from his belly.
- He got his haircut and looks like such a big boy now.
- He loves his daddy and would much rather be with him than me if he's around.
- He doesn't like to be left alone, but will crawl around and play as long as someone's around.
- He only takes two naps a day - a mid-morning nap and an early afternoon nap, but still gets up at night.
- His favorite toys are balls and blocks.
- He continues to be a very happy, easy going baby.

Coye will be a year old before you know it!
Elora weighed 18lbs at her one year visit and it now about 22 at 17 months. He probably stopped gaining like he was because he's mobile now :)
