9 months


Our little man is developing quite the personality. I think that he's really starting to get a sense of humor and it's hilarious. He has an infectious laugh, and he's starting to laugh when others around him are laughing. It's so fun to see what he thinks is funny.
This past month he finally figured out what his legs can do, but still can't really stand up for long without his knees buckling. He is also starting to figure out how to use a baby walker and scootches forward in small spurts. He's still only scooting backward, no forward crawling yet, but I think he wants to so it's only a matter of figuring out how to do it. His top two teeth have not made an appearance yet, so still 2 teeth total.

He loves to eat, and yet has lost almost 2 pounds in the past 2 months since he last saw the doctor. I'm trying not to be too worried, he's still at a good weight but it's made me realize that he needs every bit of what goes into his mouth - he's hungry for a reason! He also fully knows that mama and dada eat much cooler things than he gets, so while his baby food is ok, if he can get his hands on what we're eating or drinking it's much better.
Here are the latest stats:
21 lbs 13 oz (70%ile)
29.5" (86%ile)
head circumference 18.5" (90%ile)

And here's a picture of some rockin' bed-head :) Don't you wish you looked this cool when you wake up in the morning!
