9 months old... oops what happened to 8?!

So Liam officially fast forwarded past 8 months and said "Hello, momma and daddy! I'm 9 months old today." (well, 2 weeks ago) If you keep up with his monthly updates, you probably noticed I skipped his 8 month update, well there's really no excuse for that except that I was a lazy momma and life just gets a little hectic at times. Anywho... we're here now so I'm sure you're dying to find out what Liam does now that he is a whopping NINE months old!  hahaha! After looking at the comparison of his skills today than the skills he had when I wrote his 7 month blog post it is so surreal. I can't believe our baby boy is growing up so fast!! 
In just 2 months he is now sitting up like a pro, he can crawl as fast as a 1 yr old can run, he can stop mid-sprint/crawl and sit up like it's nobody's business, and he also stands and climbs on furniture like a pro! He's even let go of furniture before and stood for 1-2 seconds before he plops down onto his booty. Liam now eats 2-3 containers of baby food a day, plus his 24-30 oz a day of formula (he eats six 5oz bottles a day, but sometimes only eats 4 of the 5oz). He weighed in at 15lbs6oz and he measured in at 27 inches long. The doctor witnessed first hand how hyper and on-the-go he is and said that she thinks he's really small b/c he burns too many calories! Takes after his mom & dad! He has also started eating solids. We have given him spaghetti, string cheese (a favorite of his), fruits, ground turkey/rice filling (we used it in stuffed peppers), guacamole, blueberry muffins, and even BBQ baked potato (his absolute favorite). There are so many changes. It is amazing to see how quickly babies learn things. Liam is such a smart boy. He now high fives and tries to clap (he hasn't gotten the clapping thing down yet). We have no teeth yet, but the dentist said that's completely normal since boys develop teeth a little slower than girls. I am in no hurry to see him suffer through teething, so it's fine by me! lol 
Since there's a lot of catching up to do, I'll leave y'all with your favorite part - pictures & videos of the little man. ENJOY! ^_^
