It seems that this past week has been very busy for Ryan. He’s been army-crawling around for at least a month or two now, but just in the past few days he’s started to crawl up on his hands and knees. And, he could kind of pull himself up a couple of weeks ago; now he’s pulling up onto EVERYTHING! He’s pulling himself along all the furniture and going everywhere he can. And, this morning when Chuck went in to get him from the crib, he was standing for the first time! So, I pulled out the mobile and moved the mattress down to the lowest level.
Ryan has also been clapping and waving for a while, but now he’s doing it in the correct context…clapping when he’s happy and excited and waving hello and goodbye to people.
I never posted an update for his 9-month pediatrician visit. He was 30 inches long and 20 pounds, 12 ounces, finally surpassing Nicky! At every other visit, Ryan was just a tad smaller than Nicky, but at Nicky’s 9-month visit, he was measured at 29 and 3/4 inches and 20 pounds, 1 ounce. Both of those are considered the 90th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight…tall and skinny, like their daddy.
I can’t believe how quickly my baby is growing!
