9 month stats!

Taylor weighed in at 23 lbs 9 oz and height of 30 inches (90 and 95 percentile).

Motor skills: He is very mobile.. not yet walking, but wants to hold your hands and walk. readily pulling up, squatting for toys, cruising, doing pullups (seriously). the boy is strong and on the go. he puts his head down to crawl, and you better get out of the way. goes up stairs, not down. not mastered the pincher grasp, but feeds himself by squeezing food out of his fist into his mouth.

in the Verbal area: mastered the words eh, ba, uh, and aah

still hugs, laughs, loves Tango and Darla, loves being outside, seeing birds and things flying, really loves music, and loves his pacifiers (pleural - one for the mouth and each hand! we're going to be in trouble). And he LOVES his grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, strangers and friends!

oh an acorn... to my mouth before mama can stop me

tay pulled the tupperware out, used it as a step, and crawled up into the cabinet.. but then couldn't get out. hasn't figured out the reverse move yet
