9 Month Stats

Asa went to his 9 month well baby visit yesterday. He weighs 17 lbs 2 oz (5th percentile) and he is 26 inches long (10th percentile). He has a big noggin to hold his huge brain. His head circumference is 44.6 cm (25th-50th percentile). He is healthy and doing well. The entire time the doctor was with us, Asa was making super loud noises so the doctor kept having to talk louder and louder. The minute he left, Asa became a mute. Funny how that works out. We sure love him. Oh ans this morning we walked into his bedroom to find him standing up in his crib. That was the first time he has done that. He is also cutting his 2nd tooth and I will be so happy to be done with teething for a little while. It has been hard on Asa (and his mom). He is full fledged crawling all over the place and putting everything in his mouth. Time to start vacuuming once a day. He babbles like crazy and has this funny fake laugh that he does all the time. He is learning to wave bye-bye and hello and he drums his own lips while blowing air to make funny sounds. I will have to catch that on video sometime. He has become super interested in all food. Anytime we are eating, he will do whatever he can to get some into his own mouth. Thanksgiving should be a riot! He is a handful but so worth the work.
