9 Months

We've been trying to photograph Landon in a consistent position for his monthly photos, but it is becoming so very difficult with a little guy who likes to move and groove so much. So here's what we got this month:


At his 9 month check up, Landon came in at 30 inches; in a line up of a 100 babies, he'd be taller than 99 of them. His weight has finally come in to a normal range, as well - not something I was terribly concerned about, but admittedly nice to hear. His lack of chunkage, folds and rolls has been contributing to his crazy advances in motor skills. I, personally, would not have objected if he wanted to wait a few more weeks since running after him is getting real old real fast. I even break a sweat trying to get this kid into a pair of shorts for the day. My dear little hyper man is so very sweet at times, though, so it all evens out.

Current Likes

Current Dislikes
- Having diaper changed ("I can still keep playing with a load in my pants...what's the big deal?!")
- Getting out of the bath ("Oh no, they're going to put me to bed soon! Maybe if I wiggle uncontrollably and flail my arms enough, they'll reconsider. No? More wiggling!!!")
