9 Months Old

Graham turned 9 months old last week. He is officially a man on the move, which is the main reason my posts are not as frequent. He is taking shorter naps and requires my full attention when he is awake! He now crawls very fast, pulls up on everything, and pulls on cords. In short, he is a mess!
Not only can he pull up on everything, but he is now tall enough to reach even the items pushed to the center of the coffee table. He loves to open drawers and cabinets. The only problem is that Graham has not learned to move his fingers out of the way before shutting the drawers. He also has several bruises on his head from where he is trying to stand on his own. I am afraid these are the first of many bumps and bruises.
Graham had his 9 month well child visit last week. His weight is 23 lbs 12 oz (90%), his length is 29.5 in (86%) and his head is 18.25 in (79%). He has met all of his developmental milestones at this point. These include: responding to his name, playing peek-a-boo, crawling, sitting well, pulling up to stand, and rolling both ways. In other words, he is still perfect!
Graham now has 4 teeth. The front two on the bottom and the front two on the top. I have not been able to get a good picture of his top teeth yet, but hope to soon.
