With the busy-ness of our lives lately, I forgot to write Avett's 9 month stats and changes. Avett is 17#, 9 oz and 27.5" long. True to the little Wiedmeyer that he is, he has fallen securely in the 25th percentile for both weight and height. -- I'm so proud!
Changes: Avett got his first tooth. He had four coming in, but his top left was the first to break through. He is pulling himself up to stand with ease, and plops himself down to sit from standing. He is very proud of his standing skills. He is walking along furniture and just recently began to walk behind some of his push-toys with good control. He can crawl up stairs with close supervision. He has graduated from army crawl to the real deal! He is eating more solids and tends to prefer this to his purée. And best of all, he is learning how to give kisses. Those beautiful open-mouth kisses with a little tongue!
Likes: Sucking his LEFT thumb (while hooking his pointer finger over his nose -- it helps keep the thumb from falling out), Bananas, oatmeal and muffins. Standing and walking. He has started to like snuggling more with his parents and with blankies and animals. Loves door stoppers - the kind that "boing" when you flick them. He also spends most of his days trying to get at electrical outlets, cords, remotes and phones. He has actually figured out remotes to a surprisingly advanced degree considering his young age -- parenting WIN! And how could I forget, this kid is obsessed with his Mama! OBSESSED!!!!
Dislikes: His mom
