9 Months

My growing baby boy isn't such a baby anymore! Neacel is doing great, growing like crazy though. We went to his new doctor today, Dr. Palmieri (thanks Jessica, btw she says hi, and was asking how Sophie is doing); she is an AMAZING doctor, everything I have wanted for Neacel and more. The clinic she is in has everything, plus it's close to home. She sat there talking to Neacel and I and made sure every question of mine was answered. When she was checking his tummy and other areas she sat there singing to him. How perfect is that? The office is super kid friendly, nurses were great, everything was organized and quick.

Neacel is growing a ton in some areas and slowing down in others.

Weight: 20 lbs 6 oz (47%)

Height: 27 1/2 inches (21%)

Head: 46.6 (84%)

So basically, he is chunky, short with a big ol' head! That's my boy!

She is guessing that he will be walking by the time he is one. He is at the developmental stage of a 10 month old! That's why she thinks he will be walking soon, her guess was 10 1/2 to 11 months! That's fine with me. I left happy and comfortable with her. We were going to go with her before but the drive wasn't worth it. Now I don't care and wish we would have been going to her since the beginning.

Some of Neacel's 9 month achievements:
-Eats everything (no more baby food, well hardly any).
-Stands up and is cruising

-Says 'Momma' and 'Dad'

-Looks when we point at something

-Talks all the time, even though we don't understand him. But he will have a conversation with us anyway.

-Tries to crawl upstairs but we stop him, I'm not ready for that.

-His newest thing, THROWING A FIT! This includes screaming, hitting, throwing toys, bottle etc, shaking his head no and so on.

-He now has 4 teeth, his top ones still have a little way to come down but either way they are out and being used!

Mommy and Daddy love you Neacel, we are so proud of you and the little man you are becoming!
