Getting bigger and learning to walk!

Yesterday I went to see my doctor for my 9 month check-up. My weight was 21lbs. 14oz.; my height is 30"; my head measured 18 1/4". They also tested my iron levels they are perfect. I am healthy and doing great. I showed my doctor, Dr. France, my beautiful new teeth...all 5 of them, 3 on the top and 2 on the bottom. I also had to get my shots that I didn't get at 6 months. Ouch!!! I don't like my shots because they hurt. It's OK, the pain goes away quickly.

Dad and mom got me some new toys to play with. One of them is a fun toy that I can push around the house. I have mastered the art of pulling myself up on things now I am working on pulling myself up and walking around. I am also standing on my own now for short amounts of time. I am still very wobbly but I am getting better at it every day. My dad and I make sure to work on my balance. He is very patient and a good teacher. Take a look at the video of me walking in my play area...



I am going on a big trip next week. I am flying with mom across the country to visit my grandma and grandpa. I will also get to meet my Uncle Luke and Aunt Bev. I am very excited to visit the west coast again. It will be a long plane ride but this time we wont have to change planes part way through the trip. It should be fun.
