9 month check up

Monday was Thomas's 9 month check up!!! I can't believe he's that old already! It seems like just yesterday I was complaining about being uncomfortably pregnant and wanted a Mountain Dew SOO badly. In comparison, this 9 months has gone much faster! :-) Thomas is growing by leaps and bounds lately it seems. He is crawling all over the place - and fast. He makes a bee line for the dog's water dish when the gate is down - and Mommy and Daddy really have to move to make sure he doesn't make it there. He pulls himself up on anything he can touch and even walks with Mommy and Daddy when we give him our fingers to hold on to. He only got one shot at this visit (Mommy was just as happy as him about that), and Cheerios stopped the crying almost immediately. His official numbers: 23 lbs 14 oz and 28 inces long. His percentiles have done a flip flop. He is now in the 90th percentile for weight and 30th percentile for height - although I have a feeling that his height will be catching up soon. He's a very solid little guy, very strong, and gonna be big and tall like Daddy I think. He loves to eat anything we give him and especially enjoys eating anything he can get in his mouth himself. He has a constant smile and is a very happy, mellow baby - actually to the point the nurse and the doctor noticed and commented on how mellow. He's just a good guy all around - must take after Mommy :-)
