Kelson is 9 months old!

Kelson's 9 month chair picture

I know I say this each and every month, but I can't believe my baby is 9 months old!!!  This has been one of my favorite months as his lil personality is shining through.  Kelson is such a happy baby and very easy going.  He is VERY mobile now and is climbing and crawling on everything.  Below are some of the new "skills" that he is mastering.

*Clapping - yep - he LOVES it!  If you ask him "Kelson, can you clap?" He immediately starts clapping with a big smile on his face

*says mama and dada.  Dada is definitely more prevalent, but every now and then I get a good "mama"

*Waves Hi/Bye

*Gives you a high 5 and then claps because he is so proud of himself

*Loves to swing at the park and go down the slide

*Can now climb on top of things (my camera bag being his favorite)

*loves peek-a-boo

*is very mischievous - he knows that he's not supposed to play with certain things, but he looks back at you to see that you are looking and then plays with them anyway

*Kelson has 2 teeth on the bottom and his 2 top teeth are cutting through right now...

Doug and I feel so incredibly blessed to have such a happy and healthy little man.  We still cannot believe that God has given him to us.  

(now - if only we could get him to sleep through the night - everything would be great!)

Below are some pics we took for his 9 month chair pictures.  As you can see, it is VERY difficult to get him to sit still.  As our pedi told us - he's a VERY active baby.

9month stats:

Length - 29.25 inches (90%)

Weight - 18lb 15oz (25%)

Head size - 18.5inches (90%)

*basically - we have a long skinny, big headed baby...
