9 months old - already...

No new pictures today, just a couple of him in the vertical position he now favors. I'd like to say he's getting big, but he's getting EVEN more active and starting to lose a little weight - only a little so far. He can eat too - about 28 to 30 oz of formula a day (including the nighttime feedings we can't seem to get rid of) and 3 meals; breakfast is 4oz of fruit and cheerios or some other dry cereal. Lunch is either a 4oz veggie or meat with 2 oz of fruit or 4oz veggie with mashed bananas. Dinner is essentially the same as lunch and all include dry cereal or dry fruit since he wants to feed himself. Plus I know daycare gives him snacks the 3 days a week he is there. Is this normal???? We go for his 9 month appointment in a couple weeks - it seems the likelihood that his vaccines received in ET didn't do the job is pretty high. So we have to think about a new vaccine strategy...BUMMER, but we'll get it taken care of.
Otherwise this little guy is amazing - he is so strong and so alert....and now is awake, no surprise it's bottle time.
