Well baby

We just came back from L's 9 month well baby (okay so we're a month late, but we were in NY). He is 20 lb. 11 oz. and is "leaning out" a little and is 28 3/4" long. He got a polio vaccine and is currently konked out in his car seat in the parking lot of our townhouse complex while I learned that I can be online in the lot in the car.

Dr. G was impressed by his verbal abilities. She said that most babies his age only say 2-3 words. Here are the words that L reproduces most regularly:

1. dog-dog
2. uh-oh
   
3. mama
4. dada
5. nigh nigh
   
6. nur nur (nurse)
7. all dah (all done)
8. aight (light)
9. ahtchoo (ah choo)
10. adoor (door)
    
11. more
12. bah bah (bye bye)
13. el-oh (hello)
14. up-pa (up, as in to be picked up)
15. am/am-ee (grammy)
    

He might have a few more than this that either we haven't learned the word yet, or that he's not saying them consistently enough for us to distinguish them from all his other babbling!

He is also very close to walking. In the past couple of days he has stood on his own for a few seconds without any support from Jim or I (or Sadie) or furniture. His favorite toy now is his little walker. I've got video of him going up and down the hall. Will upload soon, I promise!
