Big Boy!

Oliver's 9 month check-up was today! He's 30 inches long (97th percentile), 25.4 pounds (97th percentile) and his head is 19 inches around (off the charts).

His newest trick is standing alone! He's doing that more and more frequently, and on purpose (he's been standing alone without realizing it, such as when he's playing with the dishwasher). He also clucks like a little dolphin. We have whole converstations clucking back and forth - he's been doing that for quite a while now, but the conversation thing is new. He also knows how to make fish lips. Talented boy!

Fish lips aside, we have reason to believe he's part beaver. Exhibit A (that's his crib. We need to get rail padding):
That picture doesn't do the damage justice. As a baby, I teethed on my father's piano - I'd suck on the pedals, and bite the ivories (they had little teeth marks/chunks taken out of them), so I guess he comes by it honestly.
