Nine Months of Glory

My precious little bug, Mr. Andy Pants has continued to grow, and change, and entertain us in many ways. He now weighs 19 pounds, 12 ounces (putting him in the 45th percentile) and is 27 1/2 inches long (putting him in the 35th percentile). We sure can't complain about that, since we all know that I consider him to be perfectly chubalicious. This boy is a champ of an eater. He likes everything and is always eager to try something new. I've also finally found (after buying 4 different kinds) a sippy cup that Andrew will actually drink from. Still no crawling, but lots and lots of rolling and carpet swimming. Yesterday B lowered the crib down to it's lowest setting. Andrew isn't pulling himself up yet, but I sure don't want to find out that he can do it at 2am. If I'm completely honest I'll have to admit that this made me a little sad, but I think I'll get over it.

I also found out that our little monthly photo shoot with the giant teddy bear is getting to be a little more difficult. You see, Andrew is no longer content to just hang out next to the bear. He wants to grab it and chew it and roll all over the place. Here's the evidence . . .

This is the best we could do, but that's OK because this is who the little Bug is.

I also took Andrew to Penney's again last weekend for his 9 month pictures. The people who work there absolutely love him. He is so easy and agreeable to everything they do. Our sittings always last about 5 minutes and he is always completely pleasant the entire time we are waiting. Due to some uncooperative families we spent a total of about 2 1/2 hours in the portrait studio. Ugh! But, because my boy is so wonderful they gave us all kinds of free sheets because of our patient dispositions. Here's how we did . . .

Well, there you have it. I hope you enjoyed our pictures.
