Up, Up, and Away!

Andrew's nine months old now. He continues to change every day. Last Wednesday, he pulled himself up in his crib. Now, he won't sit down. It's nearly impossible to get him to drink his bottle. Just as it's nearly impossible to change his diaper. Live is much more fun in motion.

And now that he's learned to use his knees to help himself stand, he also uses them a lot more in his crawl. Needless to say, he keeps us on our toes.

The first nine months has bought three teeth and words such as ma-ma, da-da, and nana. At his checkup last week he weighted 24 pounds and 4 ounces and measured 29 1/2 inches long. He's still perfectly proportioned for his height but is taller than 90% of other boys his age. Andrew has two grandpas and three uncles over 6 feet tall (and Daddy too!) and we're guessing he'll fit right in!
