Simon at 9 Months

So here it is, August 19th already. Has it really been 9 months? Three quarters of a year?! At this rate, November will be here before we know it.
What's new in Simon's world...
Simon has perfected a regular crawl. He gets around pretty quickly these days keeping me busy trailing after a precocious 9 month old (I'm sure it only gets better ).



Simon is also using anything and everything to pull up to a standing position and cruise around on the furniture.


When he actually does play with his toys, his favorites are the stacking cups, which he loves to knock down, clang together, and put one inside the other. (Note: he didn't actually stack those shown in this picture - not yet anyway ).


Simon is also growing bigger. At his 9 month checkup today, we learned that he is 30 inches tall and just shy of 23 pounds putting him in the 90 percentile for both. According to the doctor we have a "little linebacker."
