9 Month Check-up!

We went to Milo's 9 month well-check yesterday and he checks out!
Head Circumference: 18.1 inches (68 percentile)
Height: 29 inches (71 percentile)
Weight: 19.45 pounds (29 percentile)

The doctor was super impressed that he can crawl really well, pull himself up on things, and take steps along things.  She's sure he's going to be walking soon.
My feelings: YAY and Oh, no. (50/50 percentile)

He's also eating a lot more real food and less formula, which is nice. He's using a sippy cup (after trying 4 other brands, this one is his favorite) exclusively, is working on his top two teeth, taking two 1.5 hour naps every day, and making word noises. In other words, he's been fighting a nap for the past half hour. HAH. No one is perfect. (But seriously, kid, go to sleep.)

Plans for the BIG trip this summer are coming along swimmingly! We went on a test drive (2 hrs, round trip) with the baby and the dog to see some logistics of it and everything should go well. We even had a taste of what carsickness was like (Milo was still getting over a stomach bug) and it was handled with relative ease.

We've decided that Strider will come with us because it's SO much cheaper and he's going to love being able to run around Sean's parents' yard with their dog Katie. We've got the hitch in place, the luggage rack purchased, the trailer booked, the campsites booked, and I only have like 10 lists that I'm working on. It's getting more exciting the closer it gets and less terrifying. So yay!

AND!

Congrats to Kayla and Jeremiah on their new little boy!
Welcome to the world, Sirius Severus Donner! We're so excited to meet you in a few months!
Love, Miss Ellen
