9 month checkup and other milestones..

We had our 9 month check up today. The stats: weight - 18 lbs 5.5 oz Length - 28 3/4 inches Head Circumference - 46 cm all seems to be good. For length he is in the 75th percentile and for weight somewhere between the 10th and 25th percentile. Head Circumference is about the 75th percentile. So basically he hit a growth spurt and is "tall" and "skinny"....not that we know where he got the "tall" genes......

other milestones, 2 front teeth, he's clapping and babbling. well, not so much on the babbling. Its a lot of yelling "AAHHHHHH" with some other one syllable "words" thrown in there. He eats crackers and cheerios and goldfish and drinks water or juice from a sippy cup and flirts with anyone and everyone when we are out. he tries to take a step without holding on, usually with disasterous results (like falling eye first into a hard plastic toy resulting in a slightly swollen and light purple area under the right eye. hmm, and falling into the wood base of the rocking chair resulting in a bump and bruise to the head. i assume it will only get more fun. he doesnt cry to much (which is a little unnerving), usually a short wail and then back to whatever he was doing prior to the accident.

all in all he is right on his "developmental chart level" more or less and nothing out of the ordinary.

2 more days officially working at southridge. Yippee!! :) <--- big smiley face!
