9 months!

I took Oliver for his 9 month well child check this week....and he is actually already 9.5 months now. He has an ear infection (his second) and is on antibiotics for that, but other than that, he's a healthy little guy! ALL the ages have been fun for Chad and I, even infancy, which I know some aren't so fond of; however, we often say that 9 months has been our favorite so far. He is so fun right now with so much personality and now that he's mobile, he's much better at entertaining himself!

Things he's doing and loves:

-Crawling everywhere!

-Pulling up.

-Eating all table foods now, well except for steak, maybe.

-Learning to give kisses.

-Clapping his hands, still loves beating on "drums" (tables, countertops, floors etc)

-Saying ma-ma, da-da, uh-oh, and an occasional gigi, and all done ("ah-dun")

-Sleeping....well nevermind that subject...who needs sleep anyways? :)

-Snuggling with mommy.

-Into absolutely everything!

STATS:

21 lb...64th percentile

31 inches...99th percentile

We love you Oliver, no matter what! No matter how many plant leaves you eat, how many times you chew electrical cords, how many times you pull up on the toilet, no matter how much you refuse to take your naps, no matter how many poops squeeze out the top of your diaper, no matter how much you screech (Oliver screeches, not cries) when you're sleepy......no matter, no matter, no matter. WE LOVE YOU, no matter what.
