Happy Nine-Month Birthday Tyler!

Happy nine-month birthday to you

Happy nine-month birthday to you!

Many more birthdays to you
Many more birthdays to you
Many more birthdays dear Tyler
Many more birthdays to you!

Wow, Tyler is already nine-months old! We went to his nine-month check-up today and were shocked to discover he weighs 21 lbs 4 oz (55th percentile) and measures in at 29 inches (75th percentile). He’s getting to be quite the big boy! The doctor said he is looking really strong and healthy.

Now that Tyler has started crawling, we can hardly seem to get him to sit still! He can lift his tummy off the ground to get on his hands and knees but he hasn’t quite figured out how to put that move into motion. He seems to want to stand up all the time, and he is now starting to use the furniture to pull himself up. He is showing a real interest in table food (no surprise there) but he still hasn’t cut a tooth. So we are still just giving him Ritz crackers and the Gerber puffs. He is babbling up a storm and you can tell he is trying really hard to put sounds together to form something meaningful. It seems like he is learning to do something new every day and we are just enjoying watching him soak it all in!
