First new thing...We finally did it. Drew and I let Mac cry himself to sleep. I know most of you are thinking we are a little late on doing it, and we are but it's not as easy and it seems. Drew and I both hate when Mac cries but we also hated the long bed time ritual we went through to get Mac to sleep every night. So last week we let him cry. The first night he cried for an hour, the next night - half an hour and the third night only ten minutes. It doesn't go smoothly every night but it's a work in progress.
2nd new thing. We just went to his 9 month check up and Mac was 24 lbs 9 oz and 31.5 inches tall. Everything looked great.
3rd new thing. While we were in Utah. Katie would sing a verse of a song to Mac and wave her arms and then stop and say," your turn." In return Mac would wave his arms and babble and then stop and wait for Katie to continue. This went on for a while. Really cute. It has now become a daily ritual. thanks Katie.
4th new thing. Some not so cute things, Mac has started biting and throwing tantrums. I have bruises on my shoulders and legs from where Mac has bit me. He thinks it's so funny. I was not ready for the tantrums. I thought he would be older before he started throwing his head back and arching his back. Oh well.
5th new thing. Mac is walking along furniture. If there is something he wants to get to he moves pretty fast.
*Just a quick note. Mac is still not crawling. Just scooting around on his stomach. So stubborn.
