happy 9 months

i am 9 months old today. i had my check up with my doctor and she says i am doing great. she says i am healthy and definitley a growing boy. i weigh 20.1 pounds (50th %) and i am 29 inches long (80th %). the doctor said that it is normal for me not to be gaining as much weight as i was before, especially since i am so active.

speaking of active, she said i am ahead on all of my motor skills like crawling and pulling up on things. she said she thinks i will be a handful, in a good, playful way. mom agrees. she knows because she chases me around all day. we have fun. one of my new favorite games is to play chase. i give mom a certain look and then crawl away as fast as i can. then she comes and gets me. it's lots of fun.

here are a couple pics from today.

Awwww! These pictures are so cute! Of course, ALL of his pictures are cute but especially these. I so wish I was there to play "chase" with him and watch him explore Mimi's pantry, etc. I love and miss you all so much. Thanks for doing this blog. It helps the missing a teensy bit. :0)

Love always,
Aunt Dee
