Rowan hit the nine month mark on July 12! He gets more and more fun (and CUTE!) with each passing week.
He can now cruise very well around our furniture and even stands for brief periods. He also took a few steps at my parents' house (he was leaning on Scotts leg, then lunged foreward before falling). He LOVES walking while holding onto our fingers.
Rowan's favorite place to be at our house is under the kitchen table. It's like his own personal jungle gym! He also loves crawling up our steps (any steps, actually). I suppose pretty soon we'll have to teach him to go down steps backwards on his belly.
Rowan's favorite foods include fruits (squished blueberries, watermeon and peaches are his favorites), little bits of meat, O-cereal and toast. He's still getting most of his calories from nursing, but he's starting to eat more solids. It's funny to watch him as he gets full. He'll go from putting bits of food into his mouth when he's hungry to throwing large quantities of food on the floor when he's full.
Rowan has six (SIX!) teeth now. We had some rough times as the four top teeth came in, but nothing too serious. They're all through now and he seems to be sleeping a little better.
At his nine-month check-up he weighed 18 pounds, 1 ounce and measured just over 28 inches long. Our pediatrician said he looks happy and healthy as can be! Rowan even showed her a couple of his tricks (waving and clapping).
We think he's pretty great! I guess we'll keep him after all!! ;-)
