I'm 9 Months Old!

Boy, have I been busy lately. I got to see my cousin Kate, Uncle Eric & Aunt Jen, my Nana and Grandpa James, Great Grandmas and Grandpa, and Great Uncle Rick and Aunt Carla, Great Uncle Tim and Aunt Becki.... (at Kates Baptism) a couple of weeks ago. It sure was hot that day - but I didn't really care becuase I slept the entire car ride there and back home.

Oh, and I had my 9 month pictures taken. I think it's so funny when that lady with the camera makes funny noises at me - I just laugh and laugh. I'll show you some pictures once they come in.

Mumma feeds me lots of apples, but it doesn't seem to keep that mean doctor away. Well, it's not actually the doctor that's mean - he gave me a book (and we all know that I LOVE books), it's those mean nurses. They poked me two more times at my 9 month check up. I'm a pretty big boy though - I only cry (well more like scream) when they give me the poke, then Mumma picks me up and I'm all better. I am 28" long and weighed 18.4 pounds, which puts me in the 25% percentile for height and 10-15% percentile for weight. I guess I'm just gonna be a short skinny kid.

I'm not quite crawling yet, although I can scoot around on my butt pretty good. I also like to roll and roll and roll! Oh - but I can stand up (with a little help) for a few seconds see...
My Grammy says I'm just going to skip crawling and start walking - then I will really make Mumma and Daddy run after me!

I know my Doggy (Higgins) and my Kitties (Jackson and Pippy). When I see Higgins I say "geee geee" and I just love to play with him. The Kitties are fun too, but they must not like me too well cuz they just run away when I yell at them.
