9 months and very far behind in updating....


Ben turned 9 months old 12 days ago. He is such a darling boy, and we are incredibly happy. He took 2 'mini' steps a couple weeks ago, and he balances and dances while standing up for long periods of time. He is a master at throwing balls - he palms them and throws them overhand. He even palms heavier baseballs and gets a decent throw! He talks all the time, but he is also very serious when he is around bigger groups or new people. He isn't all that afraid of people, but he does get wide eyes, taking in the situation. He is so brilliant with toys. He puts things in and out of boxes, he turns the page with books, he stacks things. I am amazed at how quickly he catches on to things.
He weighed in at 20 lbs 13 oz at his 9 month appointment, which put him down to the 50th percentile. For height, he is 75th percentile, and for head size - 90th! He has 4 teeth on top and 2 ones totally in on the bottom, with 2 that just started poking out.

I have a lot to catch up on for pictures. Our computer crashed, so we have been waiting for this one to get all our pictures recovered and loaded. I'll start putting some photos in tonight. We just had a fantastic Thanksgiving, and I can't wait to tell you all about it, but let's start from the beginning of his 8 and 9 month old adventures, from Idaho to Halloween!

Love to all!
