It's my birthday... 9 months today. I went to the doc this week and I weigh 16 lbs. 5 oz. and am 27.5 inches tall. I say "tall" instead of "long" because I can stand so well. In this video you can see my standing/clapping ability that I honed in KY/TN on my recent trip. I also can imitate the motor boats I saw on the lake in TN. Mama says I'm a good traveler. Loved seeing all the family in KY/TN hopefully will post some video soon from our trip as well.

Leavin' on a jet plane...

...Tennessee and Kentucky here I come!

Playing with Daddy and Mama comes home...

Dad and I were playing with all the things in my toy box. I was having a great time standing and even trying to take a few steps when Mama walked in. The outfit is something else, right? Dad thought it served a dual purpose, it made him laugh and gave my noggin' some extra padding. Mama says Dad dresses me like Porky Pig ... in other words onsies don't count as pants.

Daddy dresses me... can you tell?

And... yes... I am standing!
