Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Ethan, turned 9 months on the 19th. Weighs 22 pounds and I am not sure of his height but it is in the 50th percentile.
He does the army crawl so he stays on his stomach but can get himself all over the place like that.
He loves standing but doesnt pull himself up by himself.
He doesnt have any teeth yet but 3 are about to break through.

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Sydnie will be 9 months Friday.
Her weight is around 21 lbs. Height I have no clue we'll find out Tuesday. She was 28 1/4" 2 months ago!!!

She is all over the floor-crawling to sitting to belly back up to sitting etc. She just started waving. She pulls up to standing like a champ and she will even take a step if I am holding her hands when she stands.

She JUST last week started trying to hold her own bottle but only when she feels like it and she does hold a sippy cup.

ETA: And still no teeth

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Isabella will be 9 Months on June 3. She is prob around 22 lbs and I dont know how tall. I go to the doctor on June 9. As for crawling she is up on all fours and only goes if there is something she wants. She can sit up from the laying position. Just got that down on Sunday!!! She just also started pulling herself up on everything but she really just want to walk. She lets goes and really tries to go so I really have to keep my eye on her. She also has her 2 bottom teeth. She got those at like 7 1/2 months. She is NOT holding her bottle though.

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Abby - 9 months today (pics later)

Weight - 16.9

Length - 27

Crawling - army crawl forwards and scoots backwards. She also pivots 360 degrees and strategizes how to get things out of her reach.

Sits unassisted and can get to seated position from her belly.

Starting to pull herself up and can weight bear when placed in standing position.

Holding bottle - We use drop-ins and the bottoms are open so she holds the bottle from the bottom, but not traditionally "holding a bottle" on the sides. Its functional for now - it will evolve.

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Alex
9m3d

Weight: 17 1/2 lbs
Height: 27 3/4 inches

Crawl: sorta. He scoots all over the place. Then he will try to push himself up but realizes he likes to be on his tummy because he can get around quicker.

Pulls himself up: he's working on it

Holds bottle and sippy cup we're working on drinking from. he thinks his sippy cup is a really cool hat that holds water that he can dump on himself.

he likes to play with his food then give it to the dog to eat. Self feeding is a work in progress right now

he has 2 teeth

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Where is your DC? I know, I know we aren't supposed to compare but just curious:


8 months 2 weeks

Weight - 50%

Height - 95%

Crawling - no, can get up on hands and knees, rocks for a second then belly crawls.
Pulling her/hisself up - yes he uses our hands to pull himself up, but won't do it on his own

holds bottle - no not really, he can do it for a second but he is not interested

his two bottom teeth are fully in

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Eva is 8 months 1 week old.

She is 20 lbs. 30 inches.

She can't crawl yet but scoots a little .

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Gavin is 9mo 2wk (aug 14)


Weight - 18.8

Height - 28.5


Crawling - This kid is giving me a RUN for my money! He started crawling and standing (w/ support) by 6 months by 7 months he was crawling FAST and getting into everything by 8 months was standing on his own......Now at 9 months he's almost walking . He takes about 8 steps (sometimes less if he's very excited) and often gets himself up and takes steps without us helping him . It's definately b/c of his big brother!

Pulling her/hisself up - yes

holds bottle - yes, but doesn't always hold it high enough.

He JUST got his 3rd tooth and is teething BADLY!!!

This picture is from 5/8/09 when he started taking his first steps....

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

DS is 9 1/2 months.
He weighed 16 lbs at his 9 mo. visit and I don't know his length but he is in the 0 - 5% (he was also born 6 1/2 weeks early so he is little for his age )

He is fully crawling (man, is he fast too! ), pulling himself up and cruising along the side of his crib . He can also sit up by himself from his belly as well as his back.

He has 2 little teeth on the bottom but I swear 4 more teeth have been trying to pop out for about 2 months now!

He does not hold a bottle but I don't really give him a lot of opportunities since I am almost EBF

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

Re: Aug 08 (or close to it) mommies

is just over 8 months... hasn't had a well check since 6 months so the height/weight is not accurate...

At that time he was 16 lbz 12 oz (50%)and 29 inches (off chart!).

Not crawing yet... assumes the position but then gets frustrated and flops down.

Pulling himself up... using us or our fingers, yes. On objects, not quite but pretty close!

Holds bottle... for daddy... not for me! Isn't liking the sippy cup yet.

Has been clapping hands for about a month... sitting up steady since six months... trying to teach him now to wave. He can pick up puffs pretty well using the pincer grasp but isn't a big fan of solid food yet!

ETA- Has two bottom teeth!
