Nine Months

The title of this post brings to mind the movie of the same name, starring Julianne Moore and Hugh Grant, who comically tackle the adventures and challenges of pregnancy and new parenthood. And while I'd be lying if I denied that I was daydreaming of going through that all over again (*SIGH*), right now my focus is on my adorable, incorrigible little nine month old, who officially reached that age milestone today.

Seriously. SO. CUTE.

Liam had his nine month appointment on Tuesday, and here are the stats:

Weight: 21 lbs. 2 oz. (60th percentile)

Height/Length: 29" (75th percentile)

So it appears that his weight is sloooowwwly catching up with his length, which we sort of suspected. At any rate, we have about 1 inch to spare before our little monkey can no longer fit into his infant carseat......so a-shopping we must go for a convertible version. I am SO not ready for that!

Doctor Rhodes-Dekko also said that Liam is doing so well, eating perfectly for his age, and that he is also very advanced in his gross motor skills. "I hope you two are prepared for an early walker," she said with a grin.

Um, what??!!??

Ok, so we suspected as much, but wow......it's hard to imagine that Liam will be toddling around the house in the not-too-distant future. Luckily, he's already kept us pretty busy with his hopalong style of crawling, which has definitely picked up speed over the last couple of weeks. : )



We have a NINE MONTH OLD.....a SOON-TO-BE-WALKING nine month old.
Oi.
But man, if he isn't the greatest thing ever.

These pictures are fantastic!! He's looking so grown up!! (Don't you kind of miss his spikey hair, though??) ;) What a handsome little man!

What a cutie. Walking or not, he'll still get into everything. Owen is going to be 1 on Tuesday and isn't quite walking yet, but he pulls up and walks along everything and uses a little walker toy like a pro. He is also doing great standing on his own...just not quite in a rush to walk independently.
