Life on Lofty Lane: Cam's 9 month update!

Our sweet little guy turned 9 months old last Tuesday, which is crazy. We were out of town that day and I actually missed his doctor's appointment, but KK had it all under control. It has been a super busy month for Cam... he officially became an expert crawler early in the month and since he figured out how to get around we have been busy chasing him all over the house! Here are the major highlights from the month and the low down on his routine and schedule:

We still get him in bed around 8:30 and he sleeps generally until 7:30 or sometimes closer to 8. He sometimes wakes in the middle of the night and we have to change his diaper because we hear him scooting around and being restless, but usually he sleeps all night.
We dropped to 3 bottles (8 oz each) at the end of last month/beginning of this month and that went so well. At the same time we moved him to 2 naps and he pretty much instantly adjusted. I was thinking he would need a few days, but that was not the case. So now nap time is 10-12 in the morning and 3-5 in the afternoon.
He is still eating 2 big jars, drinks water out of his sippy cup with help, and he is able to feed himself the Gerber stars. He especially likes those. :) We will start moving to table foods some.
Cam wears size 3 diapers, but size 4 also work. We are close to being out of size 3 so that is good that size 4 works. :)
Depending on the brand it seems that Cam wears size 12 month clothes so this means he can wear size 6-12, but sometimes that is hard to get over his head. So we have some 12-18 month clothes as well.
I mentioned that Cam learned to crawl and that has been a lot of fun and also makes me nervous. He has gotten faster and faster! He will get a very determined look on his face when he spots something and off he goes!
In the middle of the month he learned how to pull up to standing, which he only did every now and then at first, but has now become a daily thing when playing. A lot of times he has a wide stance and it looks funny, but he is so proud of himself when he does it.
He doesn't always want to cuddle now... he would rather be able to crawl around and play so he gets a little cranky when you hold him sometimes. When he wants to cuddle I am sure to squeeze him and give him hugs and kisses.
He also clapped his hands one time, but now I think this could have been an accident because he hasn't done it again.
He is a drooling machine and we generally always have a bib on him...
He absolutely adores his big sister and gives her the biggest smile when she talks to him. Many times he will crawl after her to try to catch her and it is so wonderful to hear them laughing and playing together... such happy sounds.
