Hyzyd's "Firsts"

That first 9 months with my baby flies soooo fast! As first-time parents, there are times that I'm so tired from the constant feeding, changing and raising of my baby but I see to it that I document his growth before he gets up and walks off to college (or at least turns one year old)! I wanted to keep the memory of my baby's first months fresh in my mind for years to come. I know that some of the mementos from this first year will be the things that my child is going to treasure when he grows up and has his own children! Here are some of Hyzyd's "firsts" with date.

Yesterday, he was celebrating his 9 months birthday! By God's grace he can accomplish the following:

* Chews on objects
* Reaches for utensils when being fed
* Turns head away when finished eating
* May sleep between 11 and 13 hours a night; takes 2 to 3 naps (may vary)
* Rolls all the way around
* Sits unsupported
* Gets on arms and knees in crawling position
* Has specific cries for various needs
* Babbles enthusiastically
* Tests gravity by dropping objects over edge of high chair
* Responds to own name
* Has different reactions for different family members
* Shows some anxiety when removed from parent

On the other hand, I dunno what happened to my blog list. If you happen to notice that your blog is not on the list please don't hesitate to leave a comment or a message in my cbox so that I can link you up. Please update the URL of Our Adventures Together to http://www.hyzyd.info. Thank you.
