9 months old

At Evan's 9 month check up which was yesterday on his 9month birthday ;)... he was given a gold star! He surprisingly ONLY weighed 20lbs 15oz and 29in long! That places him in the "50th-75th percentile" (what ever that means) for weight and 75th percentile for height. Good job Evan! The only wha wha wha point is at the end of the appointment, we pointed out again that our perfect little son has a lopsided head! ;) It's just from sleeping on the same spot when he was a baby we think but we have an appointment at Vanderbilt to explore our options. Yes the speculation is that he could have one of those sweet helmets. :). It would really be esthetic but having clients who have lived with misshaped sculls, I know it would only benifit him in the long run for his self esteem so we are willing to look into it. So, there you go, no big deal, we'll tel you more about it when we have our appointment next month.

We have enjoyed this past month especially cause he's changing so much and so fast. SLOW DOWN!!! He's 'scooting' faster than ever and as of today he's walking in his walker (albeit, not in a straight line. he favors the left -we'll have to change that. lol). Teething like crazy! With four teeth on the top and four teeth on the bottom he is constantly chewing on his fingers, poor guy. I suspect there will soon be even more! yikes! Anyway, he's even more cooky than usual with his personality exploding. I will try to post a video of him the other day trying to eat my shoe (after getting smacked in the face several times by smokey's tail) and when I took it away, he screamed and proceeded to have his first tantrum! It was soooo cute! In the video he next appears to move on to get the CD's he's not allowed to have only to see that little stinker was really off to get the shoe mommy just took away from him! Can you believe that?! The only thing missing from this scenario is him turning around to shoot me a dirty look. lol. Anyway... Evan is trying to talk a lot and moving all over to get to his brothers, Smokey and Oliver who only run away. Hopefully one day they let him catch them cause he loves them very much. We visited our friends Denise, Amanda and Allison the other day who have a house full of cats and dogs. They were all very interested in Evan and Evan LOVED all of them, especially the dogs who he apparently found HILARIOUS as he 'belly' laughed at them for a good 5+ minutes straight and only stopped cause we needed to go. He thought they were the 'cat's meow' and my camera was in the car so I didn't capture it. Sorry!! We'll have to come back over to recreate it. ;)

Aunt Jenalyn, eat your heart out. ;)
