9 Months

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: milestone

Carsyn turned 9 months old today. I did the whole weigh myself, then weigh myself with him. It said that  he weighs 17 pounds 6 ounces, which would be amazing and it would make me so happy. Espcially since he hasn’t gained any weight since 4 months old. I guess we will have to wait for the official weight on March 14th when we go to CHKD. If you want to read a full update on Carsyn click here. I really am okay, really. Yes I am worried and I want answers, but right now I am trusting in the Lord. I know that everything happens for a reason. Thanks for all your sweet words. I seriously have the best readers ever.

Anyways back to Carsyn. I have been working with him every day doing lots of tummy and floor/play time. He still falls over when sitting up but he is sitting up for longer amounts of time. He still does not reach for something. He will hold onto it if I make him hold it.

He got his first tooth on Monday February 7th. You can just now see it really good. It is so cute, but I am going to miss his toothless grins. He is such a sweet and adorable little guy. I still can’t believe he is 9 months old, he will be a year old so soon. Only 3 months away. eeekkk…

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Carsyn would love a vote for his 9 month birthday. They reset it today so we would love to stay up towards the top 100. Thanks!

    cute pictures. I just had a thought about your little guy's weight gain looking at his mouth picture. Is he tongue tied? My oldest was and it interfered with his ability to nurse and later his ability to speak. we had it "snipped" when he was 3 and it was the best decision I made. I had so wished we'd done it earlier

    oh my gosh that 9 month picture is just precious. And how in the world did you get a pic of his tooth, every time I try to get a picture of Riley's like that she instantly sticks her tongue out and covers it up!!

    February 12, 2011 at 1:34 am

    You know, I can see a difference in photos with his ability to sit up. You're such a strong mama. <3

    yup, he'll be 1 year old before you know it! That's great that he's gained weight! I think Ethan was barely 20 lbs when he was 1 year anyway.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
