9-month update

Today Abram had his 9-month check up with the pediatrician. Here are the latest stats...

Weight 21 lbs, 5 oz; 63%
Height 28.5 inches; 59%

The doctor is thrilled with Abram's development. Today was the first day Abram pulled himself up into a standing position. Over the weekend he would pull up to his knees...guess today he thought he would try to go a bit further in the vertical position. Walking here we come! Abram has been enjoying 3 meals a day for the past month or so. We continue to introduce solid finger food, but Abram is only slowly getting the hang of chewing, swallowing, etc. We are hoping that once the tubes are put into his ears, the eating will improve.

Abram enjoys all of his toys, especially this big, wooden cube with different activities on each side. Mommy found it at a consignment sale and ever since it has been out in the play area, Abram goes straight to it. Mommy and Abram have been going to a weekly Gymboree class over the past month. Abram loves all the bright colors, the fun activities, and has made some new friends.
