Nine months!

Still not old enough to drive a car, but cute, cute, cute!At his nine month wellness visit, he weighed 21lbs 4 oz (65%), 29" tall (75%), and head circumference 18" (55%). Zachary still has little interest in solid foods, but his doctor wasn't worried because he's growing proportionately. She was glad to hear he hasn't been sick at all and said it was probably a result of his love for nursing. Dr. Miller also commented on how happy and strong he was, and on his beautiful skin.

Zachary still loves listening to the Killers and it always quiets him. He likes to sing himself to sleep in somebody's arms, takes 15 to 30 minute power naps in the car or his crib, and doesn't snore as much as he used to.
Zachary is fascinated with Elena and all the silly things she does. He has recently become interested in the kitties and likes to visit them when they are sitting on chairs. Thank goodness s they are (mostly) tolerant to his pulling and noises. When the kitties are on the ground, he uses them like he uses everything else, as a platform to pull himself into a standing position. It's amazing that he has no scratches!
Zachary still loves climbing stairs, but has expanded his curiosity to include electrical outlets and opening cabinets. Cabinets make great banging noises! If a drawer isn't closed all the way, he'll sneak his little fingers in and pull it open, then put all the contents in his mouth and on the floor.
When it comes to the vacuum and dishwasher, Mr. Sneaker is like a cat hearing a can of tuna being opened - can hear it from a mile away and makes a beeline!
We can't wait to see what Zachary does in the next 3 months.
