We Have A Walker :)

Milo has been takings steps for about a month now, but most often chose to crawl over walking. He's all about getting places as fast as he possibly can...and crawling was the way! :) This past Wednesday afternoon he seemed to be choosing to walk more often than crawling....it's so strange how these things just happen overnight. Since then, instead of letting go of whatever piece of furniture he's holding onto and dropping to his hands and knees....he just takes off walking. We clap for him and he thinks he's so cool! :) He still looks to "little" to be walking though.....I was in the bathroom and he came around the corner on his feet. I was kind of taken back because I'm so used to seeing him a bit lower to the ground! :) It brought tears to my eyes at how quickly he's growing.....I will post a video soon, but for now here's a picture that shows just how proud he is of himself. :)

I recently took him in for his 9 month well baby. He is 21.5 lbs which seems like a pretty good sized little dude, but it only puts him in the 50% for his age. (i really can't imagine him any bigger! :)) He is 29.75 inches tall which puts him in the 75% and as always....his head is 18in and in the 50%. :) He's perfectly healthy and that's music to mommy and daddy's ears. :)

He's eating quite a bit of jarred baby food now. Although I recently bought some of the chunkier blend for 9 months and older and he gags on it. He has such a sensitive little gag reflex. However, we have given him little tiny pieces of chicken, beans, tomoatos, crackers, and he has no problem with those. He LOVES to have things he can feed himself. :) He is truly one of the most independent little ones I've ever been around. I'm still hoping for the day when he wants to just sit and cuddle. :) It's still possible, right? :)
