9 month check up!

Wow!  Where does the time go?  Seems like yesterday we were waking up every 3 hours for his feedings and here we are....9 months later, 9 ins. taller and 16 lbs. heavier!!  And yes, the doctor has told us that he wins for biggest baby of all his patients weighing in at 24 1/2 lbs. and 29 in. tall.  Maybe we can enter him in the Guinness book! :)    He is definitely healthy, although not yet crawling because of his size. He is doing great at standing if we help him up.   And trust me when I say that I am enjoying every moment of this stage where he can just sit, play and entertain himself and I am not yet having to chase him all over the house watching his every move.   He really loves testing out his vocal chords lately, squealing with glee...particularly when Dada sings Ring Round the Rosy in Italian while holding him and then dipping him at the end.  He loves it!   He also loves taking my glasses off, so I thought he would like to try them on.  He thought that was very funny.   I just wish time could stand still for a while so I could enjoy this stage just a little longer.  It's just too much fun!!
