9 Months with Preston Joseph

Preston went in for his nine month check up and is doing great! He is 21 lb 6 oz (64th percentile) and 29 in long (74th percentile). The doctor said he is really starting to lean out but is still very proportional. So that is great! He is crawling everywhere (and quickly!), loves to sit and play with his toys, he is standing next to anything he can pull himself up to, and now he is trying to master going up the stairs. He really is a mobile little man and is making our lives that much more interesting. He has hit all of his milestones and is doing great in the verbal and mental areas of development. I could not ask for a sweeter, happier, and just plain cuter little boy.

One note though, our little boy is still not sleeping through the night. We are nine months in and we are exhausted but we are working with the doctor to try and get him sleeping through the night. He is only getting up once a night and some nights (rarely) he will put himself back to sleep. But most nights he gets hysterical and eventually has to be calmed back down to sleep by Mom or Dad with a bottle. We are hoping he will sleep through the night consistently soon because Mom and Dad really need him to.
