10 months already?

Yesterday marked 10 months for our little man, Julian!!!

He not even close to being little anymore!

We went to the doctor on 7/25/08 and he was measured at an astonishing 29 inches! Two weeks before then, Lyall and I were wondering how long he really was so we put him up against the good ole’ tape measure and he was at 27 inches! I mean really at the rate this kid is growing he’ll be taller than me by the time he’s 8! (Not that it’s saying much for me, I’m 5′1.) But it’s really freaking me out. The whole time on our road trip in Colorado people at restaurants kept asking me if we needed a kids menu. Though his weight is at about 18.5 lbs which is a bit small for his length and age we are convinced that he’s going to be just like Lyall. Tall & skinny.

Poor kid. Ever tried looking for a pair of 28/34’s at The Gap? Apparently that is the size the Lyall was at when he entered the Air Force.

Anyway, our super awesome doctor said that he is doing EXTREMELY well. Motor skills are all lined up and has stated that he should be getting around to doing things on his own a bit earlier because he follows Riley around everywhere. Which is somewhat of a slight threat to me, because he’s already a handful and he can’t even walk yet!!!

I will post more about the progress of Julian & the quest for walking in the next few entires. It should be fun!

this time last year…

… I was 23 weeks pregnant. I can not believe how time has flown by so quickly. Julian is almost 9 months!!! It didn’t seem that long ago that he was this little bitty thing that barely made a sound and now he makes his presence known to all. That actually does not surprise me, I knew that day was going to come. But sometimes I miss my little squishy baby that didn’t squirm when he nursed and that didn’t make my arm hurt after carrying him around for more than 15 minutes. I could sit here and go on and on about how it was much easier a few months back, but it would make me look a little wussy.

I am actually excited at the stage that he is in right now. Julian can pull himself up to standing without any form of hesitation and has been for about a month now. It’s just amazing how strong he has gotten. Lyall and I got him one of those exer-saucers from the baby store a few weeks back and he has spent almost everyday in there making all sorts of noise. It’s pretty awesome to see how he reacts to everything around him and just the personality that he is developing. I can’t wait to see what he does next!

(Here is a little before after from this time last year and now. Enjoy! )

Mabuhay!

Just tid bits here and there of the “going’s on” here in the H-shizzle.
