I said that we would update with Cal's new stats after his 9 month appointment and here they are. He is now 18 pounds 12 ounces and 28 inches tall. Dr. B says that his ears look good and overall he's healthy. We go back in October just after his birthday and that appointment will include more shots. Yuck!

Hanging out with Daddy at Starbucks before the appointment with Dr. B.

Hmmm. . .are keys yummy? Let me taste test.

Mommy is silly and took this one just to show my little curls. (Mommy note: Aren't they cute?)

I love the paper at Dr. B's!

Mommy, you should pick me up.

What's going on over there Dr. B? You aren't going to look in my ears, are you? You know I don't like that.

Bubble hat

Cute patootie

Rubber duckies are yummy.

My favorite bath toy? The blue bowl, of course!

Having the best time in here

Bubble head and a bit of a bubble beard plus that cute little smirk = priceless

Mommy's Home!

This will mean more to me than to anyone else but I wanted to remember it, so I'm including it in my blog. Normally, when I pick Cal up from daycare, he looks up, smiles, and pretty much continues with whatever he was doing when I got there. Today, when I walked in, he crawled right to me, stopped, and put up his arms for me to pick him up. Pretty good way to be greeted, I think!

9 Months Old - Really??

Well, here we are again, another month along in Cal's life. Nine months have passed since we first met him. He enriches our lives more each day and is just an awesome little guy to have around. As for statistics, he's got a nine month check-up on Friday so nothing official yet, but we weighed him on the home scale and he's 18 lbs. 2 oz. according to that. Almost time for that new car seat!! He's totally mastered crawling and cruises around the house at will. He pulls up all the time and has started inching his way along things like the couch and coffee table. Climbing the stairs is now also in his bag of tricks and we have to put the gate up. He's still eating well and seems to enjoy trying new things.

This was actually last night so not technically a nine month picture but couldn't resist including it. Cal has discovered the joys of the laundry basket.

Love this little smirk/smile!

You know what else is fun, dropping the toy outside the basket and having mom and dad give it back to me.

Here he is pulled up and inching his way along the coffee table.

And, plop, back to the floor.

Laughing at crazy mommy and daddy!

Remember when he was just a tiny thing propped up on this chair?

Quite the daredevil - he'd crawl right off the edge if we'd let him.

That's a long, long way up.

And away we go!

My favorite - delicious sandals and flip flops.

Now, it's time for another fave - chasing Kobi.

Mommy gave me some of her catalogs to play with - fun!

This book is one of my favorites. I love the finger puppet puppy. And it tastes good, too!
