The Nine Month Old

Last Tuesday Miller turned nine months old. This little man is ACTIVE! It is getting more and more difficult to pull off these bed pictures. Miller is so full of life and joy that I just can't wait to be with him and love spending time making him smile and laugh. He is becoming less interested in his bottle and more interested in food. He has one tooth and another you can see is about to pop through any minute. He is crawling. He isn't as fast as Noah but he gets into things. He will be content to stay in an area but he will mess with everything there. He seems to have a magnet attraction to cords.

He continues to adore Charlie and Noah. And his lovie Spikes. Those are his favorite things. He likes being outside and he is getting better at reading stories. He loves to entertain and interact. He is so adorable it hurts sometimes.

Adam took Miller in Friday for his nine month check up. He weighs 19.8 pounds and is 28 inches long. Both are in the 50th percentile. The doctor was pleased with his growth and development. Everything is normal. He did have the perpetual fluid on the ear. So he will go back next week. Why do both my boys always have fluid but not infections? Or is my doctor saying fluid meaning he has an infection?

In honor of Miller's nine months of blessing this family and the soon arrival of my summer vacation I thought I would list nine things Miller and I are going to to this summer....

1. Get in the pool for the first time!

2. Go to story time at the library.

3. Lots of snuggling. (He is too busy to snuggle but this summer we will!)

4. Take naps.

5. Swing on the back porch.

6. Visit the elephants at the zoo.

7. Go to the beach. Yea!

8. Play with playdough.

9. Learn to say mommy before saying daddy! :)
