Caiden is 9 Months!

Oops, looks like I'm a little late on writing this post since Caiden turned 9 months on May 19th!  


We went to the doctor's for his 9 month appointment and were very happy to hear his latest "stats".  He is currently 30 inches tall (only needs to grow another 1.5 inches to be half Mommy's height - geez!) and in the 91 percentile for height.  He weighs almost 22lbs and is in the 64 percentile for weight.  The doctor said that he is a very social little boy and that he is very happy with his development.  And the best part, no shots this time!



Last month we dealt with several of Caiden's teeth coming in, and he ended up getting 4 of his top teeth in at once! Poor little guy!  It is so funny to see his little smile with so many teeth now!  He's also been getting into everything, although he doesn't necessary "crawl" yet.  He manages to get where he wants to go either by rolling or by doing a sort of army crawl and does it in a matter of seconds - can't take our eye off of him.  He's also been working on pulling himself up on things and has started trying to take steps when you stand him up and hold his hands.  Knowing how fast of a runner his Daddy is...we're just waiting for the day that he just randomly takes off running - even before he crawls! haha!  


Caiden also had his first pool experience since it has been so hot out lately.  We dressed him up in his adorable swimsuit and put him in his baby pool.  At first he wasn't so sure when we put his feet in, but he ended up loving it! I'm so glad that our little guy likes the water :-)  He also got to attend his first Orioles game on Mother's Day.  He wasn't a big fan of the crowd cheering but other than that, he seemed to have a great time.  His granddad even got an awesome caricature done of him at the game.


Here are some fun pics of the past month:

Such a silly little guy

8 Month Studio Pics

So although I am typically not a fan of the generic portrait studio pictures, and tend to like professional photographers much better....I couldn't pass up a great Groupon deal to get pictures done of Caiden.  They actually turned out much better than I had anticipated!  We did post these on Facebook, but since many of our family and family friends don't have Facebook, we also wanted to post them here for everyone to enjoy! :-)
