9 months


I can hardly believe my baby is already 9 months old. He is growing up so fast. I know people tell you to enjoy it because it goes fast but you don't realize it until you experience it. Blake went for his 9 month checkup on Wed. and he is looking great. He weighs 17lbs 7 oz which is small for his age but a great gain since his reflux is almost all gone. He is 28" tall which is puts him in the 50%. Since he was getting taller, he outgrew his infant carrier so last week we changed him over to a convertable carseat. He looks so little in it but also so old to be riding in it. This past week Blake decided he wanted to get some things accomplished. On Wed. he decided to pull up for the first time and crawl on his hands and knees. Now we can't keep him from pulling himself up on everything. After a few bumped heads, hopefully he will realize some things just aren't made to pull up on :) He also found the presents under the Christmas tree :) I can't wait till next week!

We are going to have to do "shift duty" to keep track of him! This is the time when you realize that the word "relax" won't be a regular part of your vocabulary! Maybe he'll wear himself out so that he still will want to be held.

Love him to pieces! Love the pic of him playing with the manger - those kids just love that set. I have a feeling he and Anna are going to be trouble Christmas morn.

He is just too precious!! And sooo handsome. Girrl you are going to have to watch him with the ladies. Looking at his pictures always gets me excited about our little man :) Can't wait!!
