check up

Miles went for his nine month checkup on Monday. Overall it went really well, besides the shots but that was expected. He is 22 1/2 lbs which puts him in the 87th percentile for weight, and he was I think 29 1/2 inches which is the 92nd for height. That won't last long! I did start to buy him 12-18 month clothes though because his 6-12 month ones are getting tight. By Thanksgiving he will be eating some table foods (bananas, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, peas, etc.), how exciting! I am looking forward to it even though baby food is so easy.

Daylight savings time really was challenging to get him to sleep later. It ended up taking 3 or 4 days for him to get used to the new schedule. He is doing fine now. We have been putting him in his bed totally awake (we thought that would help him adjust to time change as well). He has been doing fine with it until the last few days he is standing in his crib. I don't mind this (we lowered his mattress so he can't get out) but he is wild and careless in there. Yesterday I was trying to let him tire himself out by playing in there. Then he is holding on to his crib trying to get his mobile (which has been taken down) and fell and hit is head on the edge of the crib. Then he screams and so I went in and got him to sleep. It seems that he gets so excited to be in there to play that he can't stop pulling himself up and bouncing around.

He is getting so funny. Grandma O bought him a car last week for him to ride in. He LOVES to chase norm around in his car. I will post a video later, it is hysterical. Half of the time he screams in an excited way instead of laughing. I love it. He just seems like a happy go lucky, crazy, funny little guy who likes to have fun.
