How big is Kieren?

SOOO Big! And this was officially confirmed at his 9 month check up last week where he weighed in at just over 23lbs and almost 30 inches long. These put him in the 80-85th percentile though his head is still in the 90th. As Jeff said, "It's because he's so smart." :)
Over the last month Kieren has mastered crawling and is pulling himself up to his feet. He cut his bottom 2 teeth and from the recent gnawing on his crib I'm guessing that the top 2 are on their way. He's waving and saying "da-da" and "ma-ma" for Jeff and I (and most other things too.) :) But the biggest change, in my opinion, is that he's understanding more and responding. Just last week he started responding by smacking his mouth when I ask him (& sign) if he wants food. And this morning when we were reading his "I Spy Bunny" book I read the line "...a bunny so big & a bunny so small" and up went Kieren's arms to show me how big he was!
The big change for ALL of us, is that we've moved. We're all adjusting to our new space and we continue to plug away on updating it. We've had lots of help from my dad & brother Jason in the remodel/updating process and Jeff's parents have come to help unpack & cut wood for the winter. There's still LOTS to do but it's starting to feel like home.
I've been a bit delinquent in posting videos & photos and I promise to post some new images of our little dude as soon as I track down the box that the cameras are in... hmmm.

  1. Wow! I can't believe he is talking already! That is awesome! What a little smarty! That big head is doing him well! Addie just had her appointment and at 20 months she weighs 23 lbs too.
    Yes, find the box with the camera so we can see the house! -Sarah
