9 months old (a few weeks late!)




Sorry, no post for awhile! Markus turned 9 months a few weeks ago... time sure has flown by. He has yet to crawl (although he is getting quite good at scooting backwards), he has tackled the art of feeding himself cheerios (and is quite proud with every bite), he now had 5 teeth and he loves to bounce in the johnny jump-up. He has started laughing outloud at sounds and faces and there is no sweeter sound in the entire world. He continues to sing at church during the singing, and screams bloody murder in the nursery. Separation anxiety has hit full force, and while I am pleased that he loves me I would love for him to be okay with others... it's just a phase, right? AT his 9 month check he weighed in at 18 lbs 1 oz and 26 3/4" long, which drops him to the 5th%. But his head has grown to the 90th%! Must be quite the brain up there :). Here's a few pics I took today!

Howdy! It's good to hear we're all in the same boat... may be on different decks but on the same boat. Markus is adorable! I agree with Tam... I hope we get to see you all again soon. ;O) Know that we think of you often. Thanks for the christmas photo. Love, Carrilee Tim & Henry
