9 month stats



I can't believe I haven't posted in 2 weeks. Carson was just beginning to crawl last time I checked in. He is all over the place now. He loves to crawl into the kitchen and see what Mom is up to, look out the back door, and go after Dad's shoes, the dog bowls, and whatever else looks interesting.







He went to the Dr. on Monday for his 9 month check up. He is fit as a fiddle. He had to get his finger stuck for a routine check for anemia. I think it upset me more than it did him. They probably had to squeeze his little finger 40 times to get the blood that they needed. He weighs in at 17 lbs. 8 oz. now. This puts him in the 10th percentile. He is in the 25th percentile on height at 27 inches long. His head is still running a little small too. He is in the 5th percentile on head circumference. Oh and some exciting news to share! Carson's first tooth is coming in. I checked him out yesterday because he's had his fingers in his mouth so much lately. I can see the white almost poking through his gum on the bottom. The pics are from Monday and yesterday. We went for a brief walk yesterday after work and I snapped a shot of Carson and Daddy afterward. Carson was in a particularly good mood after his bath last night so I had to snap a few shots of him then too.

Just a few pics



Sometimes I call him twinkle toes. Look at those scrawny legs.

He sticks his tongue out more lately. I guess that is my fault. I make faces at him all the time.



We visited the family today. Carson was very entertained by his favorite cousin, Ryan.

Behold the crawling one!



Today is the day! Carson has finally figured out how to crawl! So maybe he looks a little like the girl from The Ring that crawled out of the t.v. with his leg dragging behind him like that. We are still so proud. It needs some fine tuning, but he is moving forward.
