9 months

Eli,

We had your 9 month check up and everything is going well!  You're growing quickly!  We didn't have to have any shots this time so that was nice on both of us :)  You really have had no interest in crawling at all but have finally started to try and move forward.  You sort of pull yourself forward and then started to do what looks like the worm.  You inch forward then plop on your belly and then do it all over again.  Very creative to say the least.

You,

• Weight 22.2 lbs (96 percentile)
• Length 29.75 inches (87 percentile)
• Head (98 percentile) They remeasured 4 times ;)
• Sit in high chairs at restaurants and love to pound on the tables
• Had grandma fluff and auntie vitty visit
• Ride in the cart in stores
• Start to hold your bottle on your own
• Are very alert and love to go shopping so you can look around
• Eat a variety of baby foods
• We call you the puff master since you want to eat puffs all the time
• Starting the beginning stages of crawling.  It sorts of looks like the worm.
• Pulled yourself up on the ottoman
• We moved into a townhouse and out of our home on May 14
• May 2^nd your second tooth showed up, bottom left tooth
• Went to the Des Moines farmers market

This is your last picture taken in our first home.  When you grow up we will have to take you back to visit.

Love,

Mommy
