9 Months Old!

It's so hard to believe that our little dude is already nine months old - it seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.  Everyone says it goes fast... but man, it GOES FAST!

A little 9 month survey:

Stats: 23 lbs, 1 oz (85th percentile).  30.25 inches (95th percentile).
Clothing size: Solidly in 12 months now, wears some 18 month stuff, and fits into a few 9 month things.
Sleep?: Sleeping through the night (hooray!) 8 pm - 8am usually.  Naps are pretty good too - he takes one nap a day, around 11:30 am and it usually lasts 2-3 hours.
Verbal skills: He says "mama" and "dada" regularly, and "hi" sometimes.  Phil and I swear he said "Ella" once too.  He's definitely working on developing more words - lately we've heard a lot of "d" and "t" sounds. 
Motor skills: He crawls! FAST! He's also learning to stand (pulls up on all the furniture, the walls, the dogs ;-)) and can stand unassisted if you trick him into it.  His fine motor skills seem to be developing too, he's got a great pincher grasp! He's starting to seem interested in waving, and we might have the beginnings of a high five :)
Teeth?: Four (Middle top and bottom)! We think he has a lot more coming in as well - he's showing all the signs.
New and Noteworthy?: Well, Toph has begun to throw tantrums (crying and flailing) if he doesn't get his way.  This is... um... fun ;-)
