Weighing in

I turned 9 months old on Tuesday! The next big milestone will be my first birthday, can you believe it?!?! But first I get to experience my first Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas (not to mention Cookie Day)! It's going to be an exciting three months!

Today I got to visit my doctor again. I was up to 16 lbs 7 oz, which was the 11th percentile. I measured 26 inches, the 7th percentile, but Mommy thinks the nurse shorted me some. We were so sure I was going to shoot up more on the charts since I had a recent growth spurt, but I guess it was just typical growth because I'm still at the bottom of the ranks. That's okay. I like being a peanut.

My family has been trying to teach me some sign language. I have only waved bye-bye a couple times. So Mommy was really surprised last night when she and William were throwing balls back and forth and I kept signing "ball!" It took her a while to figure out why I kept waving my arm. But when she finally realized, she was really excited for me!

Still a little one, huh?! That's ok! I think you'll always be our little peanut! And starting signing! That's big! Can't wait to see you again! Love you Peanut!

Momma Dani!
