Gus is Nine Months Old!


I think Gus has changed more this month than any other month. He's going through a growth spurt and seems to get bigger overnight! He continues to be really happy and laid back. The teachers at school always tells us how happy he is. He's really adjusted well to school, thank goodness! Makes going back to work so much easier.

He's really starting to talk more and more. He says bababa, dada, sometimes mama, but not quite as much. He has also started squealing and laughing, mostly at Audrey. He could just watch her all day and giggle. He loves is when she runs around and jumps up and down. Anytime she walks in the room or starts talking to him, he just lights up! They love to play on the floor together and roll around. Which leads me to another development - moving around! He's not quite crawling yet, but he's starting to scoot when he's trying to get toys or get closer to sissy. He also has learned to log roll to things.

He's still struggling a bit in the sleep department. He does a good job of going to bed around 7:00, but he almost always wakes up once during the night to eat. He has slept through the night before, so we know he can do it, he just doesn't want to.

We haven't made too much progress on trying new foods. We've discovered that he loves yogurt, but only if its fruit-flavored. I got him some unsweetened and he hated it. He seems to have a bit of a sweet tooth! We also found some purees that he likes. Next step is to try some finger foods. I think he'll like it because he is really grabby right now - wants to get his hands on everything!

Other loves include playing in the exersaucer, being outside and reading books with sister.
