Osterkamp Occasions: 9 Months!

Evan turned 9 months old on February 19th, and boy, has he changed! He had a great checkup with Dr. G…weighs 23 lbs, 12 oz and is 30 inches tall already! That’s 95th percentile for weight and off the charts for height. By the way, he’s wearing 18 month clothes now!! He has his two bottom teeth and is working on 4 top teeth (two of which are coming in now). He’s still not crawling – who needs to crawl when you can scoot everywhere on your rear!?!? Actually, he’ll be crawling any minute, but would probably rather skip it and walk. He can stand with support for long periods of time and LOVES to do so. His favorite time is when we stand him up in the play pin Grammy loaned us. We have to make a really big deal about it and he’s all smiles and giggles! He even lets go with one hand to pick up toys and way “bye-bye” which he did for the first time on Valentine’s Day.
His newest discovery is opening and closing the cabinet doors, drawers and microwave door! We say “open….close” each time he does it and he just thinks it’s the best thing ever.
His nanny (Miss Edna) got him a swing for the tree in the front yard and he is having a ball with it! She also takes him on daily walks to the park where he tries out the big boy swings too. He’s certainly growing to be a fun little boy with lots of curiosity and new discoveries each day.
