Standing and MAMA!!!!
Today, Mr BB stood all by himself without holding onto anything for 7 whole seconds. And it wasn’t one of those times where we would let go and catch him before he fell over…it was for real standing and using his hips to maintain his balance. We were so proud.
And then he wouldn’t go down to sleep at night. He’s been doing this a lot recently. I’ve heard of the 9 month sleep regression that can happen because they are learning to do so much around this time. He will cry non stop….Do we should re-sleep train starting at 5 minutes…or go directly to the longest interval? How does that work? We know he can self soothe…he just is crying so that we will go in and get him. He cried non stop for 20 minutes today and yesterday before we went in…and then another 20 min after that. Finally, we got him out of the crib and he was wired…so we brought him downstairs and put him to bed maybe an hour later when he was tired again. Do they start pushing back their bedtime around this age? He truly is tired at 7:30 when we first put him down (rubbing eyes, yawning, falling asleep while feeding). But as soon as we put him down, he’s wide awake again. AAARGH…just when we thought we had it figured out!!!
We are also starting to get tooth #2!!! woohoo! And he is slowly starting to get crawling. He can get on all 4′s pretty quickly now….and started venturing out with one arm (instead of the leg thrust turned face plant)…but he loses his balance still with that one arm out.
And we have Mama!!! He only says it when he’s upset/crying….which makes me think that he’s saying it for the true meaning of the word. And he doesn’t babble it like mamamamamama…it’s always just Ma Ma. He’s already done Ba Ba tons of times. Hmph!

yay for standing and mama! boo for not sleeping!
yay mama! and standing already? wow. bb sounds so advances.
do you guys refer to yourselves as mama and baba and eventually he picked it up? we always refer to ourselves as mommy and daddy.
as for bedtime — i’m at a loss. this past week c’s been wanting to go to bed 45 min earlier than usual. i’m not sure if he’s just recovering from being sick or what, but he can barely keep his eyes open when i get him home from daycare.

Yeah, we call ourselves mama and papa (which I guess sounds like baba to him). He’s weird, he’s only advanced at things that involve him being upright (sitting,standing). He’s super late with things that involve him being on his belly (rolling, crawling). Oh well!
I think BB started getting up earlier around Coby’s age too…he just started sleeping in a little later recently.
Congrats on him calling you mama! He’s such a cutie!
wow! BB’s standing at 9 months! even for 7 seconds, that’s long =).
