9 Month Update

Caleb's 9 month stats:

Weight: 18 pounds, 5 ounces
Height: ~28 inches
Cuteness Factor: 99th percentile
Appetite: Solid
Teeth: 2 on bottom (4 nearly through on top)
Favorite Pastimes: reading, bathtime, holding hands and walk, playing his new piano, giggling, eating new finger foods, and jogger stroller action


General Comments: Caleb seems to be more interested in walking first, rather than crawling. However, he has resigned himself to learning to crawl first, which he is beginning to master. In general, he is personality is chill but he does like to voice his opinions (through squawking) every now and then. He is quite the little charmer and has loved spending time with his cousins from Italy. We are thrilled to watch him grow and change in his own unique ways. The classic line "enjoy this time because they grow up SO fast" appears to be an understatement in the realm of parenting. We are beginning to baby proof things more and more and while we are grateful for this immobile time in his life, we welcome the next chapter of exploration. Here are a few fun pictures of the end of 8 months and the beginning of 9.
