This is how much I’ve grown in the last 9 months!
I have become much older looking this last month for two reasons. First I had a haircut that took about 3 in. off the top. Second my little sister Ann is about a third of my size so I look very grown up for a 17 month old boy. Even though I’m young I’ve figured out what being a brother to a little sister means- lots of kisses! Ann probably gets the most from me. Quinton sometimes tries to pull me away when I just want to be nice but he’ll figure it out soon – I hope. Dad took some pictures of us this morning!
I finally attempted to crawl up the stairs and made it all the way up my first time! I just needed the right motivation- the helicopter. Dad and Quinton were playing with it upstairs without me. I was waiting for Mom or Grandma to take me up but apparently they were not understanding what my looks were for so I had to do it on my own. Unfortunately I waited too long and so it was dead when I got there.
I am big enough for Dad to take me on scooter rides and have enjoyed being a big boy. I’m becoming more brave and mobile which Mom and Dad are glad for.
Today I rolled over again. It’s the second time. The first time was on Friday. Some may say it’s early to get moving, but if you saw how my brother came after me sometimes you’d want to get quickly moving too. Now if I could master covering my head… 
I made it here at 6 lbs and 8 ounces. It was a wild ride trying to get the penicillin needed before I arrived as it only took 2 hours once the water broke. Mom needed the stuff for over 4 hours so they had to be ready. They came to the hospital Saturday night but it was too early for me! I wasn’t going to come until someone started pushing me. Mom’s water broke around 5:20 and I arrived around 7.
