Wow, time is really flying by. Matthew is so close to walking and talking. He can stand by himself for quite awhile but then when he wants to move, he sits down and starts to crawl. He is definitely mimicking speech patterns and rhythms. Anyday now we are going to reach one of these big milestones. When Matty is really distressed, he will whine something like "mum mum" but its almost unintelligible. He does occasionally say something close to "hi" or "hey". He's mastering feeding himself finger foods, he loves Cheerios and Gerber Puffs but will also eat peas and carrots when I put them on his tray. He also has 3 teeth as of today. The 2 front bottom teeth have been there for about a month or so but one of his top teeth popped through this morning. We went to see Dr Du for his 9 month appointment today and since his kidneys have remained healthy, he was able to start meats today! Just in time for Thanksgiving on Thursday. He had sweet potatoes with a touch of ground turkey stirred in and he loved it. He weighed in today at 18 lbs 13 oz and measured 27.25 inches tall. He's on the small side for his age but he's still in a healthy range. His head is still going strong in the 90th percentile. Yeah baby.
