9 Months

9 months going on 14...It's been another monumental month. Every since you hit 7 months you have been going, going, going and not looking back. This month you are pulling yourself up on everything. At Bita's you love to walk behind the push car. At home you are up on all furniture and toys. You especially love to stand next to Sienna's chair at the dinner table and watch her eat.

Showing off your one handed squats

Everyone thinks you will be walking before you hit 10. You've taken a few tumbles but nothing more than a head bump. You aren't phased by much and usually just keep going. I am predicting you will be my first child taken to the ER. The only part of the house you stay away from is the stairs. I am hoping that lasts cause we still don't have to gate anything yet!

You got one more tooth this month on the bottom. A few more appear to be on their way soon. Teething bothers you a lot. Not so much with fevers but you get a little runny nose, clingy to Mommy, and have trouble sleeping. No fun for anyone. When you aren't teething you are still such a happy kid. You already play pretty well on your own too, in small spurts. You are most happy when someone will sit close to you while you alternate between paying with toys and climbing all over that person.

You weren't really having pictures this time. Who can blame you when there are fun door stops in the room?

I figured our scale was a little high last month. We got the official Drs measurements for this one:
Weight: 20 lbs 3 oz - 74%
Height: 30 inches - 99%
Head: 18.5 inches - 98%

They said you are the average size of a 14 month old. Just to compare Sienna was about 18 months when she was 30 inches. Crazy! I can't wait to see when you 2 are the same size.
