9 months old!


Andrew turned 9 months old last week! WOW!

He has been furniture walking for awhile now. He loves to stand up on everything...including his little piano! I call him Jerry Lee Lewis! haha!

Andrew can stand up without holding onto anything now, but has not yet taken that first step without holding on to something. He is saying "dada" a lot! He has Jim really have a wonderful bond. Andrew lights up when he sees his dad.
Andrew is still eating 3rd foods and now eating puffs, yogurt melts and we have been doing some table food (muffins, rice, veggies). He is doing well with a sippy cup already!

Andrew had his 9 month checkup today. Since school was out for MLK birthday, Christian came along as my helper! I even got in my Monday workout, 30 minutes of the exercise bike and Zumba class this morning before his dr. appt. Can you say Super Mom?! ;)

Andrew now weighs 20 lbs. and 4.4 oz. (Chunk!) He is 27.75 inches tall (a bit over 2 feet).
Dr. Hill said he was doing great! He is right at average in all the percentiles except height-a bit shorter than average. He gets that from his mom. :)
He goes back for his next check-up at 1 year old! I cannot believe we are just a few months away from him turning 1!

After recently being at home so much due to the recent bad weather, we discovered a new "game" that Christian and Andrew both like....we call it "Baby Express". I put Andrew in his diaper box and Christian pulls him around the kitchen and down the hallway like he is riding a train. They both really have fun with it!


Who needs toys when you have an empty box lying around?! ;)
