Whoa, Big Baby!

Reese had his 9 month well-baby check up Monday and he is progressing through his first year at a very rapid pace! He weighs 20.4 lbs and is 29 inches long! His head was 17 3/4 inches. He is right in the middle as far as weight. In the height department, this child hit a major growth spurt in the last three months. He jumped from the 15% to the 70% growing 3.75 inches in three months!! No wonder he has been a little fussy for the past few weeks...he was having growing pains! Basically, Dr. Cawley said whatever we're doing, keep doing it because he's pretty near perfect. He also said that he would bet that when he sees Reese at his 12 month check-up that Reese will be walking. I'm quite sure he's right! He's already stood up by himself with no help a couple of times. And he lets go of what he's holding onto and stands about 15-20 seconds before sitting down. Strong baby!! He's pretty solid. Lots of people have made the comment that he looks like he's gonna be a football player. That just makes me laugh...he's only 9 months old! Anyway...we are very blessed to have such a healthy baby and are enjoying every moment with him!
