John at 9-months

It's been a long time since we last posted images and pictures of John. He's now 9 months old and going strong. At his 9 month checkup he is 20 pounds 4 oz (50%ile), 28.5 inches long (60%ile), and his head is 18.25 inches (85%ile). He now can pull himself up to the couch and other furniture. He balances himself with ease while holding on to things. He crawls pretty fast too. Here are two movies of John. The first one shows him crawling at 8.5 months. The second one is of him standing at 9 months.

Here is John standing up and balancing,

John is really curious. He explores the house, gets into the cabinets (plays with pots and pans) and has just started to push a little walker around while holding on and balancing. He's also sleeping better at night (waking up only once a night rather than 3-4 times).
