Happy 9 Months
to
Silas Jackson Andrus!
At Silas' 9 month check up he weighed in at almost 24lbs and is 24 inches long! He is still in the 75th percentile, which is awesome!
His doctor was quite impressed with his "advanced" motor skills of clapping, talking and most of all his WALKING! Yes, that is right. About a week before little man's 9 month mark he took his first steps. It shocked me so much I started screaming, "What are you doing???" Haha, I think I scared the poop out of him. It was nice to share his first steps with Kelsey! Later that night when daddy got home he showed them off even more and we even caught some steps on tape! Now when he is standing he will take about 5 steps or so, sometimes more, and then he'll sit down! I don't think it will be too much longer before he just takes off! (PS: The video below is him standing next to the couch and taking one or two small steps, though it looks like he is pushing off the couch, he is not!)
KNOCK ON WOOD, but so far Silas has gone 9 months without an ear ache, a real temperature (higher than 102), a real cold (other than a slight cough/sneeze from the weather change) or any real health issue. I am not sure how long his incredible health streak will last but I am hoping he never gets sick. Although I know that is an unrealistic wish!!!
