September 23, 2015 "9 months old!"

Rayden is 9 months old! 


*Weight: 19.6 lbs. (between 25 and 50 percentile)        

 *Length: 28.5 in. (in 50th percentile)                                

 *Head Circumference: 46 cm. (between 50 and 75 percentile)











His therapist calls him an "emergent" sitter. 
He loves to make noise! Mrs. Emily, PT, brought him this drum. He loves to bang on it, but it also helps him hold his balance better. 







Here is a short video clip of Rayden sitting up on the bed. He had already been sitting there for over 5 minutes before we even thought to grab the camera!!

Rayden has become very vocal. Here is a video clip of him "copying" his Daddy. 





He's noticing everything we eat and seems to want some. Michael gives him tastes of just about everything too. This Crazy Bread helped him cut his first two teeth this month. 


He got new Wheaton Braces this month. He still only wears them at night. He tries to help me put them on every evening. Of course, he's more of a hinderance but that's alright. At least he doesn't cry when we put them on. 













Rayden no longer needs the Itsy Grip to hold his bottle! He can do it himself!! What a big boy! 
















We've always had so many challenges with bath time. For the longest time we couldn't bathe him because of the casts. Then it was his shunt surgeries, and most recently, his hernia surgery. Of course, Rayden has gotten too big for his baby bathtub (that we hardly ever used). Since he can't sit up without support, I placed his Summer Seat in the tub and strapped him in. He seems to like it. 





Rayden has become MOBILE!! Here is a short video clip of Rayden getting around on the floor.
