9 Month Stats

We took Jack to his 9 month well visit last week, but I haven't had a chance to update the blog since then. I'm sure this post will take me several hours because I'll have to leave and come back so many times. He is ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! His height was 29 1/2 inches, which was in the 90th percentile. His weight was 21 pounds 15 ounces, which falls under the 75th percentile. The doctor said everything looks very healthy, and she commented on what a happy boy he is. He had to get a finger prick to check his iron level as well as one shot. He didn't cry for either of them, so that was GREAT!

We moved our house around this weekend. The old office is now our guest room. The old guest room is now the new baby's room (which in 2 weeks we will be able to say he or she), our dining room table is in our kitchen nook, and our old dining room is now our office. It actually turned out looking really nice. We got the new crib set up in the baby's room. Now all I have to do is tackle the closet, which is full of maternity clothes, wedding pictures, bins of sweaters that I can't part with, etc.). I felt very accomplished yesterday. Colin and I had the whole rearranging project completed by about 10:30. Tomorrow he is going to work on the things that were hanging on the walls.

Jack has been imitating everything lately! When we were putting the crib together, he was crawling around on the floor with his toothbrush. All of the sudden he got on Colin's lap and started brushing his teeth for him! He also imitates yawns, coughs, sneezes, and tons of words. When he gets done taking a drink he likes to do the "ahhh" sound. He will do just about anything to make you laugh.

Colin had to work overtime on Saturday, so Jack and are were all over the place running errands. We were walking in to Office Depot when a storm started coming in. It wasn't raining but a huge gust of wind blew. He put both hands on his head and started laughing because he could feel his hair blowing.
