Sam is 9 months old!! Where has the time gone? He is getting such a little personality to him, just like a little man :) He's scooting all over on his tummy, especially backward. He can get up on all fours and rock foward, but can't quite get the knees and feet to work together - but he's a great little yogi, he can do some fabulous plank poses and downward facing dog!! We spent much of the month of September cutting new teeth and now he has seven teeth - four on top and three on the bottom. His poor little mouth was quite sore for a while. Sam had his 9 month check-up this week and he's still a tall skinny pinhead! He's 29" long and 18 lbs 6 oz - still the 75% for height, 25% for weight and 10% for head size. The doctor said that everything looked good and he's doing just great. Today he had his InfantSee evaluation with the eye doctor and he couldn't find any indication of any issues from his stroke. He is a little bit farsighted which is normal for babies his age, and given his genetics, he has a 75% chance of being nearsighted. We're all gearing up for fall and enjoying cheering for the Vikings and the Twins. This weekend will even bring the first hint of getting ready for deer hunting, although it will be a few years before Same takes part in that! Sam thinks that Matt's new beard is really ticklish on the feet!!
