Cal had his 9 month appointment last week and weighed in at 26.5 lbs and measured at 31" in length! He was in the 100th percentile for both stats.
He started crawling at 9 months on the dot! Oddly enough, he is extremely motivated by dopey Donnie and when he sauntered out of the room, Cal crawled after him! Our 9 month old sweetheart also crawls towards us and when he reaches his destination, he'll either put his head in our lap (and sometimes try to bite us) or put his arms up so we can pick him up. Both are sweet, but the first scenario has caught us off guard and left the marks to prove it! Speaking of biting....we need to work on teaching him NOT to exercise his chompers on our sensitive skin! Here's a small clip of our mobile little man.
It has been in the 80's all week, so we've been slathering Cal in sunscreen and venturing outdoors as often as possible. He loves water. LOVES. I'm so excited to take him to the pool this summer, and I believe I've said it before, but I'm hoping that he's a waterbug like his Mama so he won't get tired of our frequent swimming sessions this summer! Anyway, I'm off topic again. I'm like a bird around shiny things. I filled a large bowl with water and we sat in the shade so he could splash around. Little did I know that Cal wouldn't be the only one enjoying the cool water.
He had so much fun splashing around.
Cal has also started eating Nilla Wafers faster than imaginable. Not surprisingly, as Cal's interest in these delicious little cookies has peaked, so has Ollie's. She bird dogs him while he munches on anything, but especially Nilla Wafers. He really enjoys feeding us when he has a cookie and he has transfered that skill over and now feeds the dogs. Atleast they're really gentle when they snatch the cookie out of his hand!
"Here, Ollie....just don't tell Mom."
"Come back here, Nilla Wafers!"
"I'd better inspect every single cookie before selecting my snack."
