We had Nathan’s 9 Month Check-up last Friday. He’s doing great, right on track with his growth and development. He’s 20 lbs 9 oz and 28 inches long, which puts him right in the 50th percentile.

Now the food fun really starts because we can give him more finger foods. The pediatrician pretty much said anything but fish and peanut butter, though there are other things we’ll wait on until Nathan’s at least one. So far he’s tried matzah balls and some mushed up pieces of french fries.

Here are some pictures from his 9 month photo shoot. More can be found toward the bottom of this photo album.

Who is this bear in my way?

He’s so proud and happy to be clapping.

It’s getting harder to do these photos now that he’s moving around so much and so interested in everything around him, but I’m planning to keep doing them until he’s a year because I love the comparisons from month to month.
