Caleb Update

I took Caleb to the doctor today for his 9 month check up (can you believe he is that old already?). He weighs 19 lbs and 11 oz. That is the 50th percentile for his weight, I think the fact that he is crawling has caused him to stop gaining weight so fast. He is 28 and half inches tall which is about the 80th percentile. His doctor said he looks great and he didn't even have to have any vaccinations today!! I had to take Angie with me and I was very nervous about this because the last time she was at the doctor, she was terribly afraid and cried and screamed the whole time. Since then, I have had my friend Katie keep her whenever Caleb had a doctors appointment. The plan for today was that I would take him while she was at school, but school was cancelled because of the flooding. She did wonderfully. She didn't cry or act out or even act nervous at all. One time she did ask to leave but I told her we weren't done yet and that was enough. She even hugged the doctor before we left. I was amazed!

Back to Caleb...he is growing so fast. He is crawling everywhere and he is so fast. He has this great belly laugh now that is just adorable and you can't help but laugh when you hear it. He is finding humor in odd and random things (for instance, yesterday he was laughing hysterically at a ball). He is just the happiest little boy. We are slowly taking away his bottles and will take another one away at the beginning of October. That will have him down to only two bottles a day. I can't believe we are already at that point in his life.

That's all for now. The kids are in bed so now we get to watch a TV show (recorded from last night since we can never seem to get them in bed in time to watch things live!).
