9-Month Check-up

Ollie had his 9 month check-up yesterday. He is 29 inches tall and 22 lbs. He's on his way to 3 feet! No shots this time around, just an iron check. His is well within the range of normal. He's fit as a fiddle. Curious as a cat and into everything.

Praying to the Porcelain God

He cruises without a problem, can stand for a few seconds and waves bye-bye...when he feels like it. Most of all he's still exited by the cats, they still aren't excited about him.


Cupie Doll or Bad Hair Day?

His parents got a vacation from Ollie yesterday. It was President's Day, a holiday for my company. Tresa took the day off and we sent Ollie to the sitter's since we were paying for it one way or another. So, we had a nice quiet breakfast alone. NO rushing through it, feeding Ollie our food and passing him back and forth. We also picked up the flooring for our living room and went to a movie. It was strange being without him and not being at work for more than a few hours, but definitely worth it. He's still on his sleeping schedule, hopefully it'll continue. The doctor seemed impressed with his sleeping ability. If we hadn't heard all the stories of babies sleeping through the night after they came out, maybe we'd be just as impressed. This is a big improvement though. We can actually stay up until 10 pm and not be extremely tired in the morning. It's hard to readjust to that, but I'm sure when he's older we'll have to stay up late to get anything done.
