I'm 9 months!

Jameson is a very happy 9 month old.  I can't believe how fast he's growing and how quickly his first birthday is approaching.  Just prior to turning 9 months, he started standing in his Pack-n-play at daycare and we subsequently lowered his crib mattress.  Good thing because later that same night as lowering it, we watched him stand on the video monitor.  Some other developmental milestones accompanying 9 months include: proficient crawling, pulling himself up to a standing position, lowering himself back down, cruising, waving good-bye, making various vocal noises including a lot of "clucking" sounds.  He doesn't seem as interested in specific toys, often picking them up to then dropping them and happily moving on to another.  He is very captivated by discovering his gross motor abilities.  Jameson is a good eater.  He hasn't rejected any foods yet, although we think he had a minor reaction to peas.  He still really likes his baths and his dogs (we've even seen some early efforts at him trying to play fetch with them!) :)

At his 9mo wellness check, he measured 18lbs 1.5oz, and 28in long.  He's steadily following his own percentile curve, but is on the littler end :)  The doctor was super impressed with how social and happy he is!
Some big shoes to fill!

Matching fans for a fun Sunday afternoon of football...and as Jameson's Uncle Matthew says, we were wearing our Sunday best :)
