9 mts old

It's too disturbing. 9mts old? Really?? Where'd my non-crawling baby go? Ugh. Well, here are the stats:

28 and 3/4 inches long (75th percentile)

18 lbs 1 oz in weight (25th percentile)

I think its hysterical that we STILL have a tall, skinny non-baby boy

6 MONTHS!? What?!

Some one said I was 6 months old...

I really can't believe it. Half of one year has flown by.

I am still a happy camper. Check out my new 'stats'!

I weigh 16 lbs 3.5 oz which puts me at a slim 30th percentile BUT I am 27 inches long putting me in the 70th percentile for height! Hmmm...I am tall and skinny. Are we sure about who my parents are?? Well, I suppose there is still time for me to stunt my growth ;-)

I can roll over in both directions and can play for a long time on my belly while lifting my whole chest off the floor! Babbling is a fun past time, although, screaming in short, LOUD bursts seem to amuse the most lately. I can blow raspberries as you can watch in the video below...


All in all, I am still a very happy little man!!

Big Girl

At Siena's 18mt appointment she put up some pretty big numbers in terms of height and weight! She was 26lbs and 32 inches long which put her in roughly the 70th percentile for both. Coming from Nick and I, who are hardly tall people (Nick is average and I am...not), this was big news, especially after the pediatrician predicted she might be a staggering 5'4"-5'6"!!

Excitedly, I called Nick to tell him the BIG news. He says, "weren't you the same height at her age?" popping the proverbial bubble of me thinking Siena had ANY chance to be taller than me. NO! It couldn't be!! I immeadiately called my Mom to ask.... "Yup, you were the exact same height at her age, and at 24mts you were 34 inches!" my Mom exclaimed.

Damn.

How Far Siena Has Come...

So, I was looking at some old videos today taken back in early April, 2007 when Siena was not even 2 months old. Its so amazing how far she has come in such a short (it feels like) period of time. Take a peek at this cute video of me trying to get her to smile for the camera:



and here is a new video of my "little" girl talking away for the camera and being silly, of course...

"And I'm walking..."

Here are a couple more adorable movies of Siena walking....

Uh Oh...Here comes TROUBLE!

Siena has decided that she does not want crawling to be her only mode of transportation....

Things are about to get so very hectic. Not so sure how I feel about that but I definitely don't have any choice. Also, I am really excited that Siena is starting to take steps. It was really amazing to see for the first time. I couldn't believe it! Nick taught her how to use the toy she has in the video, and walk with it....he did this YESTERDAY. She really is a fast learner ;-)
