Nathan went in for his 9-month checkup yesterday, and all went well. He has a fever today from his shots, but other than that he was good. He weighs 22 pounds, 4 ounces (about 60th percentile) and is 30 1/2 inches tall (about 95th percentile!). It's no wonder he's grown out of all his old clothes. He hasn't been putting on much weight, but he has gotten taller. We have no idea how he got to be so tall. It certainly wasn't from Chad or me.

When I went into get Nathan from his morning nap today, he was quite proudly sitting up in his crib! He has never sat up while we've been watching, but he was definitely sitting up then. I've seen some other (unsuccessful) attempts to sit up throughout the day today, so maybe Nathan is starting to develop some more mobility. One day he'll be able to get himself from point A to point B all by himself. One day...

Nathan sitting up after his nap - he doesn't seem too happy about mom taking pictures. It could have been because he had an amazingly stinky and foul diaper.
