Happy 9-months!

(this happened...exactly a month ago!  Catching up, haha...)

In February, Caleb turned 9-months old!  His stats from his check-up:

• Height: 28 in (29%)
• Weight: 17 lbs. 3oz. (10%)

So, somehow he's still a little tyke...but healthy otherwise!  We had to double-check his iron level with an additional blood test, but it came in within acceptable range (just the lower end).  He's loving to cruise all over the place holding onto things (and occasionally standing for a bit on his own), and still loves meat as his primary finger food (his only blood-curdling screams occur when I don't cut up a meatball fast enough).  He's still incredibly smiley, and is babbling up a storm.  No new words to report -- "Dada" and "Done" remain his favorites!  And although he usually stays where we are, he HAS figured out how to smack the folding doors open and escape the family room/kitchen area...we yell "Jailbreak!" every time and send somebody after him... :)

Here are some pictures to mark the 9-month mark!

And, in "making a mama happier" news, we've finally landed on a fuller sleeping schedule -- feed him and put him down around 8pm, wake him up to feed him at midnight...then he sleeps until about 8am!  YAY!  Evenings to be productive, and a chance at a full night of sleep.  I'll take it!!!

This guy is still so sweet!  We just love his addition to our family.
