Andrew's 9-Month Update

Somehow it is October!  This year is really flying by!  We are so happy it is fall, and here in Dayton, Ohio, it actually feels like autumn!  We have had cool temperatures in the upper 60's, low 70's for several weeks now (no A/C needed!), and the leaves are already starting to change.  This is my favorite time of year!  And Ohio has no shortage of fall festivities to partake in.  Next weekend we will be going to Young's Dairy Farm for the Pumpkin Festival where we will take a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkin with Andrew.  We can't wait!  (Of course we will have pictures!)

Andrew turned 9-Months old yesterday!  He is getting to be such a big boy!  After our struggles with his weight and being in the zero percentile last month, Andrew gained 3+ pounds and is now in the 15th percentile, which is a HUGE improvement and our pediatrician is very pleased.  His 9-month stats are as follows: 

- Weight: 18lbs 2oz (15th percentile)
- Length: 27.2in long (17th percentile)
- Head Circumference: 44.9 cm (39th percentile)   

9-Month Old Happy Baby With Some Serious Bedhead

He is still as happy as ever!  He is crawling with lightning speeds these days and has started pulling himself up to standing as well.  He is quite a "talker" and loves to babble and make noises.  Sometimes we think he says "momma" or "dada" but we don't consider it official yet.  He cut his first tooth this past month as well!  His left central incisor (front bottom tooth on the left) is making its debut and we had a few rough nights with our teething Bubba, but overall he has done great.  It isn't in all the way yet, and I think his right one will be in any time now.

Here are some photos from the past month.
