Milestone-a-palooza!

So, in the last two weeks Nate figured out how to crawl, pull himself up to standing, cruise along furniture, and he sprouted two front bottom teeth. All these developments have thrown his sleep schedule out of whack much to babysitter Aunt Sarah's dismay (yesterday was almost napless with near constant crying). When you put him in his crib, he immediately stands up and cries, when before he would roll onto his side comfortably and go to sleep with only a little fuss. What are we supposed to do now? Bop him back down like a wack-a-mole game? He'll only pop back up!! Plus he's extremely drooly and doing this weird thing with his jaw since he became aware of his teeth. He sticks it out like an underbitey toothless old man and scowls like Popeye. I'll try to get a picture of it even though it scares me a little.

Here he is showing off his teeth a little in the top photo. Also note the picture of him stuck under the kitchen chair.









Also, Nate turned 9 months old yesterday. At the doctor's last week they informed me that he was 90th percentile for height, and 50th for weight. Tall and slim. Now if he can maintain this through adulthood he'll be in good shape. Its funny how finding out his percentiles have become the highlight of the appointments for me...it allows me to clinically compare his perfection to the Babies of the World. Would I feel the same way if he was, say, in the 2nd percentile for height and the 99th for weight? What would such a baby look like?
