9 Months Old!

Not such a little guy.

Weight: 24ish pounds

Height: 30 inches

Clothing Size: 18 month shirts/onesies and 12 month pants. He has short legs.

Daily Schedule: He continues to be fairly predictable in his schedule. Wake up between 7:30 and 8; it mostly depends on what we have going on that day and when I need to wake him up. Morning nap happens about two hours after wake up. Takes 1.5-2 hours long naps in morning and afternoon. I realize what a blessing this is since Ashton never did that. Typically goes to bed around 8pm. Still up twice a night to eat... You don't become 24 lbs by not eating at night.

Personality: Nothing really bothers Tanner. The only times he gets upset is if someone goes outside without him, someone is eating and you're not offering him food, or if Ashton doesn't play chase with him the right way. He loves water and will crawl into the ocean with no fear. If you want Tanner to like you even more, just offer him food. He smiles at everyone and seems to have no stranger danger yet. He plays at the rec center just fine, as long as they feed him goldfish periodically. He eats just about anything offered to him unless it is really cold. He seems to spit out most cold foods. Although, he does love ice cream! That's my kid!

Firsts: First tooth finally! He gets a little fussy off and on but I don't notice too much of a difference in him with the tooth coming in. I hope it stays that way. First time standing by himself. Walking is right around the corner for him. I look forward to it so he can keep up with Ashton even more.

Sibling love: It continues to be a love/hate relationship. Tanner adores Ashton and wants to be doing whatever she is doing. Ashton is slowly learning that she can't push Tanner over when they're playing. I think she thinks Tanner is more stable than he is.
