9 months

I can't believe my little man is 9 months old now. He has so much personality and is such a little ham. He is crawling and cruising and pulling things down... and being naughty, but it's cute because he doesn't know any better.

He had his appt. the other day.. Here are his stats:

Birth:
8 lbs. 5 oz.
20 inches

9 months:
20 lbs. 8 oz.
28.5 inches
Head= 43.7 cm (10th percentile.. he has a tiny head? haha)

He dropped down in the weight percentile, but it is because he has been so active.. he hasn't been gaining as quickly. He will have his 12 month appointment in September. At that appointment, he has 4 vaccinations and will have to get his blood drawn.

Summer

So I suppose since yesterday was Memorial Day, summer is officially beginning. We have a lot of things planned for this summer.

On June 3rd, Evan and I will be going to a baby shower for a friend of mine from high school. Her baby boy is due August 7th.
Evan will be attending swim classes at Goodman Aquatic Center in Verona. This will be every Tuesday night from 6/23-8/11 (or something like that). Of course, an adult has to accompany him in the pool. Eric and I will both attend, thought not always together.
I am going to take a "trial" class of Stroller Strides. I bought a used jogging stroller for $20, so we will see if I like it or not. I'm not sure if it is worth it to pay for the classes, but it might be and I might meet some other mommies in the area.
Book Baby will be starting again at the end of June (the 24th, I think) so we will definitely be attending that. Evan will be one of the older babies this time around, I think. We shall see.

We are planning to visit the zoo a few more times, go to a Madison Mallards baseball game and maybe venture out to Milwaukee for the zoo and a Brewers game.

I hope to be able to barbecue somewhat often, but we only have the little charcoal pit. I don't mind though.. I really want to learn how to operate the grill, so hopefully Eric will teach me. If I learn how to do that, I have a lot of things I want to try (kebabs, chicken, steaks.. but KEBABS especially, they are one of my favorites!)

The weather has been making me pretty angry. It is super nice on the days I don't have things planned and super crappy on the days where I have potential plans. Ok, not crappy, but not sunny like I hope for it to be.

Memorial Day

Evan actually liked the swing!

He kept pulling the kitty's tail! Good thing we don't have pets!

A sort of cute one of Evan and I.

Evan and Eric on the ATV. He isn't scared- just the wind blowing in his face.

At the beginning of the ATV ride.

Evan and Pip... he isn't too sure about her.

This was today. Evan loves to read.

9 months old

I'm pretty sure I put those in backwards order... The bottom is the beginning.. Haha. Oh well! No going back now!

Evan is officially crawling like crazy and "cruising." He can stand on his own for a second or two, but not if you make him.. He just does it once in a while. He has 3 teeth now. A third came in on the bottom a few days ago. Strrraaaange. I was hoping for some upper teeth, but I know they will come sooner or later!

That's all for now. I will try to update more often.

Monster

I am horrible at updating lately. Sorry.. I will do an update tomorrow.

Evan is a terror haha.. I have to keep my eyes on him!!!
