9 months old!

Jonas is 9 months...well actually he is closer to 10 months now, but he just had his 9 month well baby visit today.

the boys stats:

Weight 19.5 lbs he dropped from the 75th percentile to the 25th
Height 30 in (I really dont think he is that tall because the paper underneath was all crinkled when he measured jonas and then the nurse smoothed it out to measure the marks she made. I should have said something, but he was being so wiggly I didn't want to try again.. although he is pretty long) 90th percentile
Head 18 in 70th percentile

So overall the doctor said that he is too skinny...I didn't really listen much at that point because I don't think that doctors really take into account family genetics and after the horrible experiences with worrying about Abby's weight for so long (meaning taking blood and giving her supplements that made her so constipated she screamed every time she went to the bathroom) I just figure if I know they eat plenty and are super active then I am not worried at all. I know that Jonas eats and is healthy...and I am not too concerned about national averages because every baby is different. Jonas is just going to be tall and slender (just like a lot of my family is). I know going from 75% to 25% is a big drop, but I am still not that worried right now.

jonas is a busy little boy. He is crawling like crazy and is sooo fast. He is walking along the furniture and has stood up by himself a few times before quickly grabbing something to hang onto. He is starting to climb and will climb anything and everything. He says dada and bubba (which is what we call him) He can clap. He can also click his tongue and make all kinds of fun "boy" noises. He loves anything that is loud. He is super smiley...unless there is something he wants and then he will let you know until he gets it...he will just get louder and louder! He will give kisses when asked (meaning he will lean in with mouth wide open). He loves his sisters and loves to be right in the middle of whatever they are doing.

we love this little boy so much and I love to see all the new things he is learning and discovering. I do get a little sad knowing that he is getting bigger and isn't my little baby anymore.
