Oh my goodness, how is it possible for a 9 month old to be this gigantic?!! Tim won't be able to carry him on his shoulders like this for very long if he keeps up this growth :0)
Ri-friggin-diculously cute picture, isn't it? I love my boys!
Our Pediatrician visit went very well last week and Fletcher is doing great! He is 32.25" H, 28.5 lbs and his noggin is 49 cm. The nurse seemed to be fiddling with her paper a lot and I asked what was up and she said, "well I have to measure him again...these can't be right." I told her they probably were but she double checked them to make sure and sure enough they were! They didn't plot enough paper on the chart for him, so he is literally off the chart now! I had quite a good laugh :0) Doc said he looks great and is doing fine which is awesome!
He really is moving along now, on Monday 3 of his top teeth came in, he started pushing up onto his knees and rocking, and we discovered that if you prop him up a little bit he will stand on his legs now! I guess all that jumping in the exersaucer helped a bit :) He gets onto his belly from a sitting position fairly well, is getting more and more mobile with his belly scooting and is even starting to scoot on his tushy a little. We have been working on his little abs lately and soon he probably won't need a lot of help to sit up by himself either.
He is eating just about anything now (though I do still stay away from apples) and is getting better with his pincer grasp and feeding himself. Some things are just more fun to squish though, so not everything makes it to his mouth. I've been working with a variety of sippy cups with him and for the most part he doesn't quite get them though he loves drinking from a regular cup. I should rephrase that, I mean that he loves to put his lips on a regular cup and let the liquid fill his mouth and then run back out, down his chin and his front without swallowing any ;0) It sure is an adventure, this eating thing!
We have gone out to get him a few clothing items to try and fill in some of his warmer wear and anything we buy is 2T, which just blows my mind. They are long on him of course, but the rate he is going it won't be long till he fills them out in that direction too! Shoes are becoming a little bit of a problem however, since he still has chubby baby footsies...the toddler shoes that are his actual size don't fit him because they don't give him enough width and height. I think we are looking at a winter of socks and toddler slippers shoes...hey, whatever works! Could also get another pair of mittens for his feet!
He is making all kinds of noise these days and is developing quite the little sense of humor. He is still dolling out the kisses ( I got two wet sloppy ones right on the kisser yesterday!) and interacting more with people and all his toys. Definitely favoring balls and wheels and basically anything round that rolls or spins. Each day is something new, I can't wait to see what he will do next!

He is sooo huge!!!!
I think showing Preston and Alisha your blog has them a little horrified about the plan to have a natural birth.. just in case they have a 4 year old instead of a newborn too! :)
That's a terrific picture of your menfolk.
Tell Preston and Alisha not to worry, just go with it ;) My OB had my back and was looking out for me, our job was just to go to all the classes and make the next right decision! When I measured 42 weeks when I was 38 weeks and the ultrasound said 11+lbs, the decision became easy, lol.
Its a good thing you are doing all that roller derby stuff Lizard, you'll be nice and strong to carry him around when I come visit, hehe.
Thanks Karen, I liked it too, even though there are no cool lightsabers in it like the one of Henry and Matt ;)
Glad to hear you are doing well. I'm sure he'll be running around, soon....
