9 Months Old

Unfortunately I have one picture from your nine month Birthday! Our entire house has been hit hard with sick, sick, sick and you got the worst of it all :(!! Monday I took, you to the doctor and you screamed your head off. By the time we left, you had fallen asleep and been diagnosed with a double ear infection, double pink eye, and "strep-like" throat. You were plum pitiful. We went that Thursday for your 9 Month Check up and Dr. Clifford looked at your sister, and after a quick check, we found that she had an ear infection too. The next few days as your ears cleared, you both got a raging case of croup. Mommy and daddy have it all as well. I can not stand when my babies are sick. It is hard when I can't fix it immediately.

This is your pitiful face state:

That is all I have to document this momentous occasion. 

Besides all the sick, your nine month check up went well. You weighed in at 25.6 pounds, and 30 inches.  You are 100% on the charts, just like your sister. You are cruising around everything, crawl at 90 miles an hour, go up and down the stairs, try to climb into the toilet (not kidding here), and are trying to stand and bounce on your own. You do a lot of babbling of DaDa, baba, and maaaaa, but no actual words. 

When we ask "How Big is Bland" you will raise your hands over your head, and you love to give high fives. It is SO much fun to see you interact and grow into a little person. I can tell you are going to be a handful, and every night after I break a sweat getting you bathed and dressed i.e. wrestling a Barracuda., your daddy or I will comment--you are lucky you are so cute ;)!!

I love you, my precious boy.
