nine months old

UPDATE: we went to the doctor this afternoon and got two thumbs up! he's healthy and "perfect" according to our wonderful doctor. miles would like to mention that the best part about this visit was NO SHOTS!! here are the latest stats:

weight: 21 lbs 4 oz [63%ile]
height: 30 in [89%ile]
head circumference: 18.7 in [94%ile]

on sunday, february 22nd, miles turned nine months old. he is now a mobile baby and I don't think there's any stopping him! kyle and I are thoroughly entertained by his infectious giggle and sweet antics. he loves to crawl - the faster the better, play peek-a-boo, chase the dogs, play in the dog toy basket, touch the dvd player or anything electronic for that matter, give kisses, eat finger foods, squeal and screech LOUDLY, read books (even turns pages), watch signing time (of course), and pet the puppies. although he isn't pulling up to things yet, he does enjoy having one of us help him stand up to the couch or his toys. I'm sure he'll be "cruising" in no time. he is eating three meals a day and nurses three times as well. we are happy to report that he is nearly over his first illness...but I'm quite suspicious of his ears. we shall find out tomorrow at his nine month appointment. I'll be sure to post new stats at that time too!!! for now, here is the latest slew of photos...enjoy!

convincing him to sit still...









it was a difficult task...

we managed to get some cute shots!








and now a look at miles' crazy teeth - all but one of his five chompers are on the left side...go figure?!
