Yesterday we had Cole's 9 month check up. As expected, he is doing just great. I have accepted that "average" is an okay word to use to describe his size at this point in life. I am just shocked that he continues to fall in the 50th percentile for his height and weight. I compared notes with my sister yesterday and Cole is, at 9 months, the same size Lukas was at 6 months. The latest joke in the Blubaum house is that Cole got the Fromhold temper and Lukas got the Fromhold height. Only time will tell...
Here are the 9 month stats:
Weight: 21lb 2 oz (50th percentile)
Height: 28" (50th percentile)
Cole's tricks still include saying words like Dada, Mama, Baba. On Sunday he actually looked right at Shawn and said Dada! We were so excited to think he actually knew what he was saying. Since them he has resumed saying Dada to and about anything he can find. He is pulling himself up on everything and starting to take steps while holding onto objects. One of his favorite things is to stand up and hold onto the ottoman and pound on it like it's a set of drums. Grandpa Blubaum is calling him Ringo for now.
Here are some pictures of Cole from his morning, he had just woken up, that is why he looks so sleepy. The last one is referred to as independence. My mornings have gotten a bit easier in that now I can make Cole a bottle and hand it to him and he will feed himself. This free's up about 10 minutes for me in the morning. This can be the difference between finished hair and a ponytail!

Self feeding is a wonderful thing!! Those 10 minutes do make a huge difference in your day.

There is no way Cole is average. He is way above average in my opinion!
