9 months in, 9 months out

Out the womb as long as he was in. Holden is 9, months, 3/4 of a year, big enough to fill his car seat, and can you tell that we've been busy? We actually have lots of videos to show of the little man-on-the-move, but both of us have been far too crazed with work to post anything. And the H-meister is quite the active one now, crawling, pulling-up, cruising, playing with anything that can be dropped and picked up again. It's getting hard to get a good picture that's not of the boy in a highchair (see picture, exhibit A), because he just won't stop bouncing or squirming. It's fun to watch him explore the world around him, and study each object he picks up, as if to wonder, 'what's this for?'

Next week Holden has his 9-month doctor's appointment in which we find out whether he's still hitting the bottom of the growth chart. Everyone tells us he's 'getting big,' but I still think he's probably on the light side. Behind those chubby cheeks and round belly is a tiny derriere that can barely hold up his diapers.
