Nine Months!

I'm 3/4 old today!  Nine whole months.  I recently found a new love for sleeping on my belly, and not too long after that I figured out I could scoot around.  It's still not a "crawl" in the traditional sense, but it's closer every day.  No point in getting hung up on the details if it gets me from A to B.  I sprouted my two bottom teeth about two weeks ago with ease.  I love to laugh at others and myself.  My favorite things to do are... turn any toy upside down in my lap and play the bottom of it like a drum, pull my car seat awning down forcefully and kick it with my feet, bounce up and down on my butt until I almost topple forward, and grab at the kitties when they come within reach.  I love to make kissy sounds with my mouth, and all of mommy and daddy's friends think it's the greatest.

I weigh 16 lbs 4 oz (20th percentile) and am 27 1/4 in long... er... tall?  (50th percentile).  Mommy and I saw a new doctor in the practice today and he was not at all concerned about my weight gain.  He praised me on everything, gave me a tongue depressor to play with, wrapped two of my fingers up with a sticky label to occupy me for a bit, and told me I could eat anything I want except honey.  Oh and... no shots this time, whew!

Chilling outside...

Look what I found... a gummm balllll!

Guess those are not for eating... yikes!

Wait but... don't take it away from me :(

I will get that gumball if it's the last thing I do.

Got it!  Don't even think about coming near it...

What's that?

Schoooool busssss... suddenly I have forgotten all about my gum ball :)
