Xander 9 month Check-up

Xander had his 9 month check up and what a trooper. He does really well at the visits. He weighed 18.12 pounds, and was 28 inches long. His head was 17 inches round. (25% weight, 52% for height). He is right on track as far as where they expect a nine month old to be. He is cuter than ever. Just the other day he was playing with a flashlight and it was pretty funny. He had shine it and would shine it in my face or Dave's and just laugh and laugh. He thought it was pretty funny. Last night I was laying on the floor with a blanket and he would come over and lay his head down on it and I would go "Night, night Xander" and he would say a whisper that sounded like "nigh". He did it over and over, and whether he was really saying it or not, it was adorable. He has two teeth now and a few photos below I got a few good shots of them. He's a good tempered baby and even when he was sick the other day (throwing up, poor thing), he was still in a good mood. It about broke my heart. Poor little guy. He is doing incredible now and is back to his cute little self. He loves playing with 2 liter bottles, and so I got a lot of fun photos of that on this post too. He is just growing up so fast!

Two Teethies!

9 months old

Xander just turned 9 months old on Saturday October 10th. He has his next check up this Friday the 16th of October. We will be able to get all the new updated stats on him then. But it was a day to remember for me. He is crawling like mad and is so fast. There is no scooting at all for this boy. He hauls and the other day he climbed over the barrier we had for him. Which was a banana chair on its side. He dropped his toy car on the other side and so he pulled himself up and fell over the chair. And landed on his head. Poor little guy! He also climbed into a basket of socks trying to follow mama into the other room. He is so funny! He sometimes waves bye-bye and twice did "eskimo kisses" to mama. I'm still working on that one. And by request of Aunt Emily we are trying to get him to blow kisses. He is so close to saying "kitty" too. I know he will be saying it any day. I have new photos and some fun videos, but I won't update until we get his stats from his appointment on Friday. Then I can do a full blown update then. I just can't believe my baby is already 9 months old.
