Nine Months Old

Over the weekend, our hard drive crashed and our computer died.  I've been pretty sad because I didn't have back-ups of anything.  Lame, I know.  We now have a working computer, but we have to wait a week to see if they can recover files.  3 1/2 years worth of pictures and videos...I'm trying not to be sick.  Meanwhile, our new computer has no photo editing software, so these pictures are coming to you basically straight out of the camera.  I did a little with photos, but it can't do much.  Good thing Oliver is so cute, he doesn't need much in the way of editing.  And good thing that when my computer crashes, I might loses memories, but I don't lose the people.  Oliver!  I'm SO GLAD I HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE!!

 Nine months old!  Nine months of love and miracles and joy and gratitude that you're mine.

 Nine months of kissing those cheeks!  And being in love with those eyes.  And every other part of you.

 At your 4 month check, your weight was 25th percentile and your height was 40th.  At your 6 month check, your weight was 25th percentile and your height was 75th.  And now, at nine months old, you weigh 19 pounds which is STILL the 25th percentile and you are 30 inches tall.  That puts you in the 97th percentile for height!  That's my boy!  You've come a long way, growing 10 inches in 9 months.

I think every day that goes by I wish I could spend more time snuggling you and less time washing bottles and fixing food, but those moments where I take a break and spend them with you, make me feel happy.  I love you!  And I can't believe it's been 9 months!
