9 Months

On Monday Parker turned 9 months old. I can't believe how fast he is growing and changing and that in just 3 short months he will be 1 years old!!! Crazy! Today he went to the doctor for his 9-month check up. No shots this time, thankfully. Here are his stats:

- Weight: 16 lbs 11 oz, 3rd percentile (at 6 months: 14 lbs 10 oz, 7th percentile)
- Height: 27 1/2 inches, 25th percentile (at 6 months: 25 1/2 inches, 18th percentile)
- Head Circum.: 18 inches, 63rd percentile (at 6 months: 17 1/2 inches, 70th percentile!)

He is starting to even out, meaning that the rest of his body is starting to fit in with his head!! Some of the things Parker has been doing the last couple weeks: army crawling (has started to actually crawl in the last day or two), pulling himself up in the crib mainly but starting to pull himself up on other things, says "baba", "Mama", and "Dada", loves opening the doors on the entertainment center and drawers in the kitchen, and he now has 8 teeth (4 on top and 4 on bottom, looks like the molars are about to come in soon). Everyday it seems he is doing something new and entertaining and we just love watching him grow!

I can't believe our little four month old Parker weighs more and is almost as tall as your little nine month old Parker. It is so crazy. Your little Parker is so precious!
