I can't believe our sweet boy is already 9 months old. He is such a great baby, so smart and curious and willing to try anything...especially anything he finds on the ground to put in his mouth! Here are his stats:
Weight: 18 lbs 13.5 oz (40th percentile)
Height: 28 1/4 inches (50th percentile)
Head: 18.5 inches (95th percentile)
He is long and skinny. He has a super long torso, which makes his legs look short even though they are normal size. His head is HUGE!! It's no wonder he is always falling over, his little body can't hold up his big brain. The doctor said he looks great and since he is such a mover...and trust me, that boy never stops for one second...that we should increase his solids and fat intake. So, today we started incorporating real food with his baby food. For lunch today he had a cheese quesadilla and for dinner he had chicken and pears. I cut them up into really small pieces for him and he went to town.
He had learned how to crawl up the stairs, stands up all the time, is starting to cruise along the furniture and a couple days ago he learned how to drink through a straw. He is very social and is always smiling and showing off his 4 teeth! (two upper and two bottom) He also just learned to wave hi to people. He is doing everything so fast, I want him to slow down a bit. The doctor said she bets he will be walking by 10 months, CRAZY!!!
He is such a happy little boy and so in love with his big sister and brother. He watches them all day and tries so hard to do everything they do. They are such a great example to him and I love watching them play together.

first time drinking from a cup and loving it
having a blast at the children's museum
how he spends most of his time...watching his big sister and big brother
cruising along, the picture is from my cell phone and he kept moving, so that is why it is blurry
