Nine Months

Several weeks ago Toby hit the nine month mark, in fact he is now almost ten months old. He had his nine month appointment and is doing very well. He weighed 19.5 lbs which is in the 33%. His head circumference is in the 96% and his height is in the 40%. The doctor was very impressed that Toby has not had an ear infection yet and surprised that there are still no signs of teeth. When they drew his blood to test the iron it came back suspiciously low, so they cleaned the machine and retested, much to Toby's dislike, and it came back just fine. Toby is now crawling all over the place and is learning to pull himself up on furniture. He still laughs as much as ever and most of the time is fun to be around. He loves to watch the television and will crawl right up to it, pull himself up onto his knees, and sit and watch the tv. He especially loves to watch singing and turns towards the tv when there is a catchy jingle or song. Toby has recently become very attached to his mother and more often than not wants her to hold him instead of anyone else. Toby has been eating a lot of food and his favorites are ice cream, whip cream, and pancakes.
