9 months old!

Dylan turned 9 months old last week.  For his in/ex utero equinox we drove him across the continental divide.  More on our Toronto/Montana extravaganza in the next post (Rich is editing the photo set down from 600 pictures so that we don't overload our flickr followers), but here are his 9-month stats from his doctor visit today.

Length = 28 inches (30th %ile)
Weight = 17lb5oz (11th %ile)
Head Circumference = 46.75 cm (90th %ile)

So our little guy is packing on the pounds thanks to his new and improved diet of actual food (well, mostly fruit still). He's got five teeth, and is babbling and clapping.  He can't crawl, but is working on cruising around while standing.

Here he is at 9 months (taken last week at Glacier National Park):
Today in the grocery store a woman was admiring him and said that his skin looked like peaches.  I came home and repeated this to Rich, who replied that it should, since that's half of what he eats these days.

That's exactly what I thought--that his skin looks like peaches and cream, and his eyes are periwinkle blue. He'd be great in a milk commercial, what with all those pastoral equations!

Wow--Glacier National Park! Can't wait to see photos. And I love Rich's comment...made me chuckle.
