We had Caiden's 9 month check up at the Dr. last week and things are going very well and he is developing normally (phew)! He was 21 lbs (55th %) and 29 1/2 inches long (85th %). I think he's going to be a basketball player and the Dr. said he was looking to be a "bit taller than Dad." HAHAHAHA...(on a side note, when Ryan and I first started dating he told me he was 6 feet tall. We found that was not the case very quickly when I stood next to him in a pair of heels).
Caiden is quite possibly not only the cutest, but the smartest baby in the world. He now crawls everywhere, pulls himself up, he has just started to master "cruising" where he walks along the furniture, he waves hi and bye-bye, he gives high fives, claps and his newest thing is he points...at everything. It is hilarious. His favorite thing to do is pull himself up on the sliding glass door and point outside and say "da" (it is just a shorter version of "dog").
Here are some fairly recent pics of the little monkey...
Happy as a little clam!
Getting into his toys...there is a lot to choose from!
Poor guy was pretty sick...his first real puke...all over Dad (I spared the details of the puddle on the floor).
So happy!!
All dressed up and ready to go!
