Gage
Gage had his nine month check up today! Our Ped says he looks great and healthy and wonderful (which, I already knew, LOL) Gage is doing really well feeding himself and mixing bottles in through his day. He has always been a little guy though, never really moving up the weight scale, which my doctor says is fine ... it's just who he is. :)

Weight 18 lbs 7 oz (10th Percentile)
Height 28 1/4 inches (50th Percentile)
And my favorite ... his head 47 1/2 cm - 95th percentile. LOL. He has a big ol noggin!

He is sitting up so well on his own. Gets up to sitting from crawling. Pulls himself to standing with ease and cruise around furniture well. He tries to stand on his own, but quickly falls down. :) His favorite foods are mac and cheese and saltines (he would live off saltines if I let him). If I ever need to bribe him I can with ice cream or a taste of a dum-dum. His allergy to milk is gone now (thankfully) and he enjoys his yogurt on a daily basis. I have pretty much stopped feeding him baby purees because he is doing so well on real veggies and fruits and such. Gage is the biggest light in my life and is so sweet. He will lie on my belly in the morning and watch his baby cartoons with me while we talk about everything. Gage is always babbling with bababababa, but if he is upset and needs something he will always scream 'MAMA' I love it :) He is such a little talker and always a freaking Ham. If people look at him and tell him he is cute he will basically preform adorable baby tricks for attention. If someone in the room isn't paying attention to him he will work to get their attention. He is a very smart little boy.

I love having my little Gage. It is amazing. These last two months he has been running around political parties with me and wearing Obama pins and rocking an Obama bumper sticker on the back of his walker. He is my favorite little Democrat ever. I hope to be able to teach him my passions and my excitement for his future. I want this world to be a better place for him.



We have a Jack Russel named Tucker that is five days younger than Gage and they love each other :)
