9 months

playing around before the drs appointment

saying "HI" to the nurse at the counter

9 months! how can Reilly Roo really be 9 months?!?! The past 9 months have flown by...if only 9 months of pregnancy felt that quick it wouldn't be so bad! We went to his 9 month check up on Tuesday and everything looked great. Reilly had so much fun playing around in the waiting room before his appointment. His new thing is waving and sitting up and clapping. So he would crawl..stop...and start clapping with a huge smile on his face. It was so cute!! Then he crawled over to the nurse and started waving! My little man is growing up so fast. It is so fun to see him interacting more and more each day. I am going to try to get his clapping and waving on video soon. During his appointment he was on the move too. He actually didn't want to sit still... When the dr weighed him he was 20.13 lbs which is around 44% for weight and 29.2 inches for height which I think she said was around 75-80% for height. She said his weight is probably that low compared to his height because he is so active. Then yesterday i needed to take him to get blood work done for his wellness exam and it was so sad! they actually put that blue band around his arm and took the blood from his arm :( I wanted to cry seeing how sad/mad/confused he was.  As soon as it was over he went into my arms and stopped crying. He looked at me and then around at the nurses in slow motion It was like he was thinking "why did you just do that to me." After it was over and I got him back into the car he turned into his smilie bubbly self. I rewarded him with going to the store to pick out new stuffed animals! He got a turtle and a cow.  Above are a few pics from in the waiting room and for his 9 month "photo shoot" at our place.

(and yes he is wearing Red Sox clothes (it was Tuesday when they were still playing.) Even though they didn't make it to the playoffs this year we still <3 the SOX!!!)
