9 Months

So tomorrow Cavin will be 9 months old. I can't believe he is already this big and doing so much!

He weighs 16 pounds 8 ounces and is 27 inches long.

He has been crawling (the real way, sadly the Cavin Crawl/The Combover is no more) for a few weeks. Its cute and getting him into all kinds of trouble!! But it does provide mommy and daddy lots of laughs!

He loves to talk, but if there are many people around he is usually pretty quiet and busy observing everything and taking it all in. He also likes to sing with mommy. He is beginning to repeat in his own way, what you say and do.

He gives really wet kisses and loves to wave bye-bye. He shakes his head yes and no and sometimes does a combination of both.

He loves to play with his daddy and as a result, loves to be upside down. You have to be careful when holding him because he'll just lean over and dive upside down. One of his favorite games to play with daddy is to drop a toy while daddy is holding him, then daddy will hold his legs while he gets to go upside down to retrieve his toy. Repeat until daddy gets tired!

Anything related to electronics are his favorite toys, cords, outlets, cell phones, lap tops, blow dryers, remote controls...

He is quite the ticklish little boy and I love his chuckle that you typically hear only when he's being tickled!

He is a very busy little boy and is very rarely still. He wiggles while you hold him, he wiggles while he eats, he is always moving. Our favorite is to hold him in the air and watch his legs go crazy!

And he still loves bath time.

We have recently found out he is highly allergic to anything peanut and most likely (his blood had a positive reaction) to milk, egg, wheat and barely soy. The allergist isn't concerned about the soy at all, and Cavin has been eating wheat with puffs and cheerio's so he thinks he's okay there too. We'll get to experiment with cow's milk and other dairy products very slowly and carefully when he's of age and see how he does. He may or may not be able to have them. The good thing is is 95% of kids allergic to milk outgrow their allergy by the age of 6. Egg will be a bit more tricky as his reaction was a bit stronger to it, but the allergist is hopeful that with time he will be able to eat egg as well.
