9 Months Old!

Well our little baby boy turned nine months old yesterday. Someone I met for lunch the other day asked how old Wes was now, and said, "...isn't he about a year?" I was like, oh no, not close to a year old! Uh, wait a minute. That's only three months away! Holy crap time has flown by. We had Wes's nine month wellness visit at the Doctor today. I have never felt prouder of Cory and I as parents. The doctor said that Wes had totally exceeded his expectations. He said Wes was doing amazingly well. Considering how premature he was, I am extremely proud to report that Wes has totally caught up with a term baby as far as size goes.

Holy. Crap.

That's right, here's the stats:

Height: 27 7/8 which is the 25-50 percentile

Weight: 19# 13 oz. which is 25-50 percentile

Head: 18 3/8 which is 75-90 percentile

He's. A. Moose.

So much so, that he's outgrown his clothing. Again. I know that's supposed to happen, but for some reason I expected it to come at conveinent times. For instance, at the beginning of a season, not at the end, so that perhaps summer clothes were actually available in his size, and not totally picked over with nothing available. Luckily I was able to find a few things on the clearance racks. Even the consignment stores have switched over to fall/winter things. Um, it's like 80 degrees out there, as much as I love the cute long sleeved tops and cords, it's a little too warm for that stuff. Duh. As far as new stuff that he's doing? Not too much. He's learned to turn over and then back over, I guess that's new. He could do it before, but it took a lot of effort, now it's easier and he knows what he's doing, it's not a total surprise to him when he flips. He did really attempt to go after Scout yesterday. So I think he'll be crawling pretty soon, maybe a few weeks? I'll keep you internet people updated. I know you're waiting with bated breath.
