9 Months!

Evan is NINE months!  I cannot believe that in 3 short months we will be celebrating Evan's first year with us.  Time is flying by and I want it to slow down. Hopefully 2013 will go in slow motion!

Eat

You are eating 2 full meals a day as well as 2 snacks. We are just now recently starting to feed you 3 full meals.  You barely ever nurse anymore (which I am sad about).  You only nurse when you wake up in the middle of the night which (thankfully) is not too often.  You are still exclusively on breast milk though!

Sleep

You wake up every morning somewhere between 6-7am.  You take about 2 (sometimes 3) naps per day and you go to bed between 7-8pm.  Recently over Christmas break you have been struggling when it comes to naps.  You have been fighting sleep like Abe Lincoln fought slavery.  We are hoping that after you get back to your babysitter next week that your schedule will go back to normal.  Here is to hoping because Mama is struggling with hearing you scream and cry when it comes to bedtime!

Sizes

You are currently wearing 9 month clothes but they are not going to fit for long!  You are moving your way into exclusively 12 month clothes.  You are now wearing a size 3 disposable diapers but you still wear cloth diapers at home.

Evan, we are so excited for this upcoming year.  We are thrilled to see what 2013 brings to our little family of three.  We cannot wait to see you grow and develop into your own little person!
