At 9 months, our big boy is certainly holding his own. He is 95th percentile in weight (25 lbs. 11 oz.) and height (30.5 in.) and 75th percentile with head circumference (46.3 cm.). I wonder if it was all the talking we were doing at the doctor's office, because it seemed as soon as we got home "monster man" started amazing us with his new tricks. The biggest report for the day is that he is now mobile. He is not crawling (although he keeps getting closer and closer), but has creatively found his own way to move around the room. This mobility first starts by doing numerous log rolls on the living room rug. He only stops when he rolls into a piece of furniture, needs a rest, or realizes that he has reached his destination. The second step is to roll on his stomach (if he's not in that position already). And, finally, he gets up on all fours. After praising our son, Christian and I just looked at each other and said, "Get ready". If that wasn't enough excitement for the day, he tried to unsuccessfully pull himself into a standing position from being up on all fours and also took a couple of sips from his sippy cup (all by himself). These are just a few random shots I took during the day.
All this excitement certainly wears a person out. I went upstairs to check on our big boy and found him asleep. What's so special about that? Check out the position he fell asleep in and you'll understand.
Didn't quite have enough energy to complete rolling over in his crib. Guess we all have our limits!
