Miles 9 Months

Miles turned NINE months old on September 6th.  He is still a little peanut and the Dr confirmed this at his appointment.  Between 6 and 9 months Miles only gained 1 pound.  This was a big concern for the Dr, as he dropped from the 25% to the 5% on the weight curve.  I was instructed to pump for a day to see how much milk I was able to produce, needless to say it was not enough to sustain a 9 month old.  We decided it would be beneficial to Miles to start him on formula and gradually wean him from breastfeeding.  He is doing great with the bottles (considering he never really had one before) and we will go in for a weight check next week.  He has a huge appetite for solids and thoroughly enjoys eating!  Miles is also pulling up, cruising, and even standing on his own (without holding onto anything) for about 5-10 seconds at a time.  We've also caught him climbing the stairs!!  Miles also LOVES to talk!  He is constantly babbling and can say "dada."

We had a little photo shoot a few days ago.  It is easy to get good shots of the kids individually....together, forget it!
