He can climb the stairs without stopping (both the basement stairs and the steeper stairs), but will still turn around to look at whomever he has left behind once he reaches the top.
He was such a big boy when he got his flu shot at his 9 month appointment, and spent the time we waited for the doctor just laughing at and playing peek a boo with Mama. The doctor says he is short, but sturdy and fierce. This kid is so lean, it's amazing he doesn't already have a baby six-pack and biceps.
He loves fuzzy blankets, crushing disposable water bottles, walking along the furniture, eating cheerios, and has taken to prune juice to help with his constipation.
He officially weaned from nursing at 9.5 months, but we still have a stash of milk in the freezer in case he gets really sick any time soon.
Speaking of sick, he got croup! On the worst day, his oxygen levels were low, he lost his voice, and he had a high pitched bark going on. We took him to Instacare and they gave him some oral steroids, to my relief he was on the up and up the next morning. After pedialyte and rest his appetite was back, so we stuffed him with Cheerios, cream of wheat, and pears. He is much better now.
