Nicholas' nine month check up + one week

Nicholas went for his 9 month check up and weighed in at 26.2 lbs. and 29.2" long.  The Doc says he's moving right along and progressing like he should.

9 Months Old

 It seems like yesterday Nicholas was born. It is hard to believe that he is 9 months old. He had is 9 month checkup this morning and he is 26.2 lbs and 29.2 inches long.
 Nicholas has been entertaining us more and more. He has this funny giggle. Its hard not laugh when he does it. He is getting up on one knee but can't get the other one up to start scooting or crawling. He rather be sitting or standing than on his belly so we don't see him crawling anytime soon. He is trying to pull himself up especially in the bath tub. We are working with him on getting him to put his snacks in his mouth but he can't get them from his hand into his mouth. He is learning how to drink out of a sippy cup. We have been experimenting with giving him real food but without any teeth we can't give him much to choose from.

 All in all, our little man is doing well and is grow like a weed!
