I am 9 months old (and 2 days) today!


August 8th, 2008

On August 6, I celebrated my 9-month-old birthday. But I didn’t get any cupcakes or fun stuff. My mommy took the day off though and hung out with me all day because my Ah-Ma and Kong Kong had to visit their own doctor.

I kept telling mommy to update the blog but she wanted to wait until after my 9-month doctor visit two days later. So here I am, all 9 months of me!

What I can do now:

  • Eat Cheerios and other small pieces of squishy food.
  • Crawl (no more skootching!)
  • Climb up stairs, with help from daddy.
  • Bang two toys together.
  • Read books (well, not really, but I like flipping through the pages)
  • Pull myself up in the crib or next to the couch.
  • Sit up on my own after crawling.
  • Squeal really loud. And often.

My official stats are in and I’m still a skinny, long baby with a big head. Technically, I am 29 1/4 inches (95th percentile); weigh 17 pounds, 13 ounces (35th percentile) ; and my head is 46.25 centimeters (95th percentile). So, I’ve pretty much stayed above the 90th percentile for length and head size, but my weight keeps dropping. I’m not sure why because I eat a lot. My Ah-Ma says it’s because I’m so active.

Taller, thinner, big headed
