9 months!

Balian turned 9 months on the 15th. And just like big sister, he started officially crawling 9 months to the day :) Bella just all of a sudden crawled one day, perfectly. Balian's crawling experience has been more of a progression. Now, of course he's a champ. This video is the day he started crawling - actually moving the knees and hands - still uncoordinated, but getting the idea of it all.



(yes, the wall in the background looks horrible. It's much better now - took a lot of work. I hate wallpaper! blah! and that whiney girl in the background noise...I have no idea where she came from...yeah...)

He had his 9-month check-up on monday, and here are the stats:

Height: 28.75 inches long (75%)

Weight: 21 lbs. 6 oz. (60%) *

*I have to point out that he went from 90% to 60% for weight. pretty crazy. amazing what happens once they start moving!

And just for fun, here's some pictures - I think he'll do just fine as a country boy ;)
