9 months old!

My little guy is 9 months old today! I cannot believe that time is flying by so fast, and he is getting to be so big! His well check is not until the 28th so I will update will all of his stats then. He is doing very well and is getting to the point where he prefers table food, especially what Mommy & Daddy are eating, to baby food. He will still eat baby food but we have definately moved on to stage 3 foods and are quickly fasing those out! We go back to the Geneticists and the Metabolic Nutrisionist sometime soon. We had to cancel our original appointment because we had to come to Texas for some family things. I hope we get to meet with them soon so we can learn how to calculate fat % and what that means for his diet and what he can and can't eat depending on the fat %. It will definately be a learning curve, but I am looking forward to it because it means the whole family will be eating much healthier! Landon has accomplished a lot over the last month! He can now do the following:

~Pulling up on everything

~Standing for 1-2 minutes at a time w/o holding on to everything

~He is so close to walking, we expect it to happen any day!

~He can sign "more" and know the signs receptively for: no and finished

~ He is into everything!

~He can climb the stairs...and fast too! Don't worry we have gates up to stop him!

~He can clap, blow raspberries (aka stick his tongue out and spit), he takes his hands while he is babbling and puts them over his mouth and takes them off again to make (bababa) noise...kind of like the noise we made for "indians" as a child.

~Loves to take the dogs toys and them taunt them with it...it's hillarious because they know they cannot take it from him.

~Loves to read the Elmo book "So, Big!"

~He loves to stand up on anything!

~Still loves to jump, especially while holding on to MaMa and standing on the couch...it's super bouncy.

~He babbles all the time...of course I am trying to teach him MaMa first :o)
