9 month stats and an awesome play date

We had Ben's 9 month doctor's appointment yesterday so here are his stats:

Weight - 20 lbs 10 oz (50%)

Height - 29 1/2 inches (75-90%)

He did great with two shots and truly seemed to like the doctor so much that she had to sweetly say "I need to go work Ben. I can't hold you again." Lots of things to work on here with getting him to eat more food and dropping a feeding....but most importantly, he's happy and healthy!

Today, we had a play date with Gavin (8 months) and the boys were ALL over the place!

Oh, this first picture is from this morning. Funny lighting...but such a Ben-face!

This is Ben's "are you looking at me?" face.

The standard stance these days. Standing and holding on to something that's pole shaped.

Gavin arrives and Ben shares his toys.

ALL of his toys!

Gavin's a pro at standing up on his own and was showing Ben. Ben only got about this far...look at that leg placement.

Gavin also mastered the stair while he was here.

We thought Ben was going to follow Gavin's lead, but he slipped down a little bit and just rested his head on the step to watch Gavin climb up and directly at Sophie.

A fun play date as usual. Thanks for coming over, Karen! Glad we could introduce Gavin to watermelon and Cheerios!
