W had his 9 month wellness check up on Monday February 13th. B took him since I was in school. His 1 year is scheduled for 3:45pm so I'll be able to attend that one. W did great at his appointment. B said he didn't cry at all. When Dr. S came in, W stared at him intently and didn't really relax, but never cried. There were no shots, which is always nice! Here are his stats as of 9 months.
W weighs 21 lbs 3 oz. He's in the 50th percentile for weight. W is 27.5 inches long and is in the 25th percentile. His head circumference is 45.5 cm and also 50th percentile. I'm not surprised he's only 25th percentile for height because of my jeans. He's got some chunky legs, but we love them!
Let me record what W does as a 9 month old. He's crawling everywhere and that's his method of transportation right now. He pulls up and cruises a little, but only along surfaces that don't have any breaks (like the sofa). He likes to talk, and can say ma-ma. He really loves it when A wrestles with him and laughs uncontrollably. One of his favorite things is when R sings to him and she does so a lot in the car and at the table. W is understanding that when we pray, he needs to be quiet and is quiet during meal prayer and our bedtime prayer.
Just like any baby, he sometimes gets into stuff that he shouldn't. W has received pops when he tries to turn over while getting his diaper changed, when he tries to touch the computer, or when he tries to stick his hand into Cooper's bowls. So far, he listens pretty well and when we call his name and tell him 'no no', he responds.
I can't believe in 3 short months, we will be celebrating W's first birthday. Wesley Blake is such a blessing to our family.
