* Emotional development: he starts to show likes and dislikes since a few weeks ago. For example, his attempts to share food with baby Tristan, his holding a hand out when Grandma Wang holds hers out to shake.
* Motor Skill: he can roll from back to tummy now. When he woke up at 4am on Friday (7/11), I found him propped up on his belly, laying widthwise in the crib! He turns easily when propped up on his arms now that he has more arm strength. He crawls backwards a little.
* He is taking a break from formula and becoming more interested in solids. He eats a whole bowl of food for both lunch and dinner now. It usually has an egg, mushy grains and veggies, tofu, meat or fish bits. He only takes some formula after both naps and before the second nap but loves nursing. I nurse him 3-4 times a day now: morning, lunch, and a couple times in the evening.
He has his 9 mo checkup on Thursday 7/17. He is now 18 lb 12 oz, 27 in, and 49.5 cm head circumference. The doctor says at his age, he should be taking about 20 oz of formula and breast milk combined, so I feel more relieved that he's getting that much ok.
