Spencer is how old?!

Spencer is nine months old now. I can't believe how fast his "babyhood" is going by. We had his nine month well check today. This time, he did not like sitting on the scale to get weighed. He kept reaching for me and crying. So, we couldn't get an accurate weight. But, the medical assistant said 18 1/2 lbs. And he was 29 3/4 in. tall. He, like his sister, is on the tall and skinny side. 90th percentile for height and 25th for weight. I wanted to have fat babies so badly. And neither one of them are! :) He is a healthy boy. In the last month he has taken a few steps and walks really well if he is pushing something. He will walk with anything he can get his hands on. He was even pushing a chair around the kitchen and dining room the other day! He has four teeth and it looks like more are trying to come through. And of course he loves to get into everything he is not supposed to. The trash, eating shoes, knocking over fans and lamps.....He is relentless. I will take him to another room and give him something else to play with. And he goes right back to whatever I moved him from! But, he is such a sweet boy and always gives you a smile. And he loves to cuddle.
Here he cuddling my bosom :)
