Nine Month Checkup

Matthew turned 9 months old on July 13th. He went to his checkup the next day and he is doing great. He weighs now 20 lbs 8 oz and he is 28 1/2 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and head circumference and in the 75th percentile for height (go figure, his parents are both short). He is pretty much on track except he doesn't want to crawl yet. He is getting closer. He is now going from sitting to his hands and knees pretty well but he doesn't like to stay on his hands and knees very long and ends up on his tummy. He still can't go from laying to sitting. I have seen a lot of progress in the last few weeks so I hope that continues and he's crawling soon. He certainly isn't taking after his mommy because I was walking by 10 months. I think he is just more laid back and we come to him. He doesn't have an older sister to run after. I again can't be more grateful to have such a perfect baby. I thank the Lord every day for him.
