Connor is now 9 months/5.5 months corrected age. He has changed so much in the last month! He had an appointment at Mac with a dietician to monitor his growth again and had fallen down between the 3rd and 10th percentiles. We then started adding formula to all of his milk bottles and scheduled an other checkup for 4 weeks later. Unfortunately, right after the first appointment, he went through a phase where he didn't want to eat anything and every feed was a huge struggle. He did finally get back on track though and gained a pound in those 4 weeks. He now weighs 14 lbs, 1 ounce. 

Connor had his first swimming lesson today and really seemed to enjoy it. We practiced blowing bubbles with his face in the water, "jumping" off the side, and going over and under obstacles including a watering can "waterfall." He also started eating meat today for the first time and had some puréed chicken breast. He didn't make any faces and was licking his bib afterwards. We are working on sitting up on his own but he really doesn't seem interested. He can really roll around on his own and is also enjoying playing in his Exersaucer. He started saying "mum mum" a lot last week! :)

Two weeks ago, Connor let out his first gut-busting belly laughs. He thinks the word "no" is hilarious! Threw his head back and laughed so hard he would cough. We also visited Ripley's Aquarium last week and had such a fun time. Connor liked the seahorses and jellyfish the best!
