Our son is 9 months!

Our son turned 9 months old during our summer holidays in Estonia.

Development

Got his 2 new teeth, upper middle ones on 6-7, they came with fever and fussiness.
Started putting the paci back in his mouth 7-7
8 mo 3 w starts rocking himself back and forth in crawling position, doesn't crawl yet
Holiday: he sadly was ill when travelling and got even sicker when we reached Estonia. Therefore we needed to go to ER to exclude bacterial illnesses; thankfully it was just a viral infection and we were sent home with a nebulizer with salbutamol and pulmicort.
Flying: our way to Estonia was not nice, he was awake and crying every few minutes when not rocked. The way back went better and he slept 1,5 h

Feeding

I stopped pumping 8 mo 1 week and he gets around 500 ml formula and a little bit of frozen milk. After stopping pumping I've experienced quite some mood swings, not nice!
Eats solids. Less during the holidays but otherwise quite well. His favorites are raspberry, mango, watermelon, slightly cooked apple and zucchini.
He had 3-4 bottles before holidays but then went back to have a night bottle again. It was warm and he was sick, I hope that he will not need it soon any more!
Started flipping over in bed in Estonia and then getting stuck in the corner of his crib.

Sleeping

was sleeping 80-90% through the night until he got sick and we came to Estonia for holidays. Here he is waking up on the middle of the night and needs a bottle then
Before the holidays, was falling asleep mostly on his own with a paci and under the Fedde and Kees linen. In Estonia he needed quite some help, but got back to falling asleep himself when he was feeling better.
Has slept in a moving stroller successfully during the holidays (1,5 h max!).
Sleeps about 14 h per day.

General

loves: (and admires) his big sis, his favorite things are moving toys, anything with wheels, vaccuum cleaner and the washing maching.

Measurements

As of 9 July, he is 74 cm long and weighs 7,8 kg. He is in clothes with size 74.
