Time for Samuel’s monthly pictures! Here’s a link to Month 1, and Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6 ,Month 7  and Month 8 in case you missed them! And  here is a link to a page that I’ll be updating every month with all of the pictures together, so you can see them side by side.

In his crib with the bear (He was not thrilled about being made to sit down with his bear, so I got two of these, but the first one is just so hilarious!)

In the crib

Sam is moving like crazy! He is trying to walk, but doesn’t have the balance yet, so just repeatedly falls down. He’s gotten pretty good about landing on his rear, though, which is good. We had his 9 month well child check today and he’s losing weight again. We’re having him evaluated by an endocrinologist to see if he is having trouble metabolizing his food. I think that’s what the doctor said, anyway. But he is back down to just under 15lbs and is 27 inches tall. He is a mover and a shaker, that’s for sure, this kid never stops moving. Still not good about napping, usually takes two or three 45 minute naps a day, and still up 3 or more times a night. But his GERD seems to be better under control! He has completely stopped spitting up (hooray!) and has gotten less fussy. Well, he was less fussy until he started popping teeth! He started on moving day, naturally. He also had a cold, so he was teething and sick the whole time we were moving, but as of this week he has four teeth! Hooray. His bottom two middle teeth and his top two outer teeth. Weird, huh? I’ve tried to get pictures, but no luck!

Today is also our anniversary, (3 years!) so I am off to prepare some nice dinner for us!
