9 months old!

I've been neglectful of this blog lately, so I wanted to update it real quick before Jacen turns 10 months... well, he only turned 9 months old on the 10th and I didn't want to forget to put up the pictures.
He's been so fun lately. He said "DADA!" this past sunday, and waved "bye-bye" to grandma the day before. He's growing up so fast, I can't believe it!

He weighed an amazing 24 lbs 9oz (94th percentile), and measured 30 1/4 inches (96th percentile) at his 9-month check up on monday. Dr. Witt was amazed at how well he's been doing, and said that's "as good as a baby will get". We've been so blessed to have a GREAT baby, laid back and not picky about anything- including his food.

Now that he's got not only 1 but 2 teeth, it's easier for him to eat fingerfoods. He loves peas, carrots, pieces of bread, puffs, raisins, etc... He's done the teething biscuits and yogurt melts (which he LOVES), but he still chokes on them sometimes...

He's not crawling yet, but it's because he's so laid back he just happily sits wherever he's put down. He never feels the need to go anywhere else. He has achieved all his milestones he's supposed to except for crawling. But the pediatrician said not to worry about it, I mean, seriously, he's got a lot of weight to haul around!
