9 months old!

On October 30th, Westley had his 9 month check up. Dr. Malliris, our wonderful pediatrician, said he's doing great and is right on track. He's recently discovered the joys of Ritz crackers, drinking from a cup with our help, and having imaginary friends like Ed and Bart. As of appointment day, he's 25.5 lbs, 31.5" long, is still in the 95th percentile and has his own curve going on all of his charts. As we were dressing him after his weigh-in, he was a bit fussy and while he was crying we saw that he has a total of 4 teeth coming in on the top row. He got his first two on the bottom after 7 months, and his first two uppers shown at about 8 months.
We had no idea they would all come in so quickly
and within mere weeks of each other!

As sort of a 9 month birthday/early Christmas/saving

Mom and Dad's sanity type of gift,
we got Westley the Little Playzone with
lights and sounds. He really
enjoys playing the lighted music
buttons with his feet while clicking
together shapes from his
shape-sorter, another favorite toy.
We call him "Monkey Toes"
because he's always
picking things up or pinching
things with his toes. Lately, he's
started moving toys to
just the right spot so he's
able to lift them
with his feet and toes
just because he can.
It's pretty entertaining!
