9 months

We can hardly believe it but Alex turned 9 months old yesterday. This, of course, meant another doctor's appointment. Alex had a blast exploring a new area until the doctor came in. This time he was very shy and held onto Brandon.

Alex is in great health and is even getting a little fatter. Here are the stats:
Weight 18.1 lbs 14%
Length 27.5 in 25%
Head 17.7 in 42%

The doctor gushed about how cute Alex is. Many people tell us he looks like the Gerber baby. He is also very curious and active. He loves to explore. Everyday I set out tons of toys for him to play with but he would rather explore the house looking for new things. He doesn't like to be held which makes church a lot of fun. He is still sleeping 12 hours at night and taking 3 naps during the day. He is quick to laugh and even plays with Boo a little bit. He talks a lot! He is always babbling. He is still a great eater and we have yet to find a new food he doesn't like. These past 9 months have been the best ever and we are so excited for the future.
