9 Month Stats

We had Wesley's nine month appointment this morning. He is now 28 3/4 inches long (75th percentile) and 16 pounds, 13 ounces (5th percentile). He is staying pretty consistent in the 75th percentile for height, but he is dropping in the weight category. He is hitting all of his developmental milestones and eating like crazy so his doctor isn't too worried. In the meantime we'll keep trying to beef him up.

Goofballs

I live with two goofballs. At least they are adorable goofballs. :)

Yummy!

"I'm still hungry. I think I'll finish up dinner with this nice green bowl here."

Lately, Wesley will eat anything and everything. (His daddy is quite proud.) He'll even eat certain baby foods that he used to not like. But, his favorite thing to eat is anything that anyone else has on their plate. If someone else thinks it is good enough to eat, Wesley thinks he should have it too. We call him our little garbage disposal.

Wesley, What are You Doing?

"Wesley, what are you doing?"

"I was looking at this magazine and these pages just fell out."

Mine's a Pint!

Our neighbors went to Ireland and brought Wes back this super cool shirt and some Irish odd socks.

Growing Like a Weed

Wesley has a few new things to share. His two top teeth are starting to pop through the gums, he can walk around the coffee table while holding on to it, he can sit up on his knees, and he also likes to dance (bounce up and down) to music. I hope he gets his daddy's rhythm so that he at least has a chance to be a good dancer.

Update: And those two little teeth are causing all sorts of problems... ear infection, eye infection, low grade fever, and congestion-which caused a sore throat. Geez!... as if cutting teeth weren't bad enough on its own!

The Wheels on the Tractor Go 'Round and 'Round

Wesley loves playing with his trucks and tractors. Step 1) Flip the truck/tractor over; Step 2) Spin the wheels 'round and 'round. From what I hear, he is a typical boy.

Up and Down and All Around

Wes has decided that it is no longer necessary to inchworm crawl. He's up on all fours to move around ALL the time now. It's only a matter of time before he's up on two. Yikes!

Pee Eww!

This week Wesley learned that shoes are not a good toy. :)

Hi Dad!

This post is going to lean towards being a little corny, but this picture makes me laugh and it isn't the first post that could be put in the corny category. Ben had to run to the grocery store and Wes hung out by the front door waiting for him to come back. He loves his daddy!

Wesley Updates

My-oh-my has Wesley been busy! Over the weekend he decided to start crawling up on his hands and knees. He still drops to his belly to do the inchworm when he really wants to move it out. He is still pulling himself up on everything possible. He can even move around tables. He surprised me tonight, because while I was saying Patty Cake Patty Cake he started to clap his hands together. That was news to me that he knew how to clap by himself. He still puts anything and everything in his mouth. He still only has the two teeth on the bottom, but I know he must be working on some more. (Note the notorious Wesley drool in the picture...) He loves to eat. We've only found a few things he doesn't like. Some of his favorites are baby cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash. He loves splashing in the bathtub and thinks it is fun to scoot his bottom along the slippery tub floor. He knows how to drink out of a sippy cup and looks super cute doing so. Hmmmmm... I think that is all of the updates for now. I'm sure there will be plenty more soon!
