Boy how time flies....

Hi Everyone! I hadn't realized that it has been so long since my last post. But I have been super busy growing and learning new skills. I went for my 9-month appointment with Dr. Knutson last week. She and Nurse Tracy were really surprised how much I had changed since the last time they saw me. I was 15 lbs. 4 oz and 25 1/2 inches long. Although my height and weight are still below average for a 9 month old, Dr. Knutson assured my mommy and daddy that I cam catching up! My head circumference was a different matter. I am actually on the growth chart for a 9 month old in that category. Hey...big heads run in the family!

I also had my 6 month review for the CDSA program that I am in. This is the program that lets me have play therapy every week. The nurse hadn't seen me since I first came home from the hospital. She was pretty impressed with my progress as well. She asked my mommy a whole lot of questions. She gave me lots of crazy things to play with. Then she made lots of notes. The results were that I was somewhere around a 7-8 month old in terms of my progress. That is great considering that technically I could act like a 6 month old if I wanted to! My new goals are crawling and picking up things with my fingers.

I think I have this sitting up thing down. I also love to flip from front to back and back to front. I really am getting close to crawling. However, I like to roll to whatever it is I need. Much easier on the knees!! I also do this spin move on my belly like an old school break dancer. Stymie better watch out!!

Mommy has started giving me lots of new treats in addition to the yummy cereal, fruits, vegetables, and meats that I have been eating. I absolutely LOVE the teething biscuits. But Mommy does not like the fact that she usually has to give me a bath afterwards. The puffs are much cleaner. I am almost able to keep them in my mouth the whole time without Mommy's help. Of course Stymie also likes the teethig biscuits and puffs, as he usually gets to eat whatever pieces I drop.

I think that is all for now. I hope everyone is having a great week!

Love Mr. Miles
