Patrick's 9-month stats

Baby Boy numero dos is as healthy and happy as can be! He had his nine-month check-up last Tuesday, so we have the latest stats: 29" long and 18 lbs, 2 oz. That puts him in the 54% for length and the 14% for weight. He's our little skinny mini... :-)But a couple months ago, he was in the 1% for weight, so he's gaining! Wahoo! Most importantly, there are no areas of developmental concern...he's crawling, eating well (and loves all foods so far!), communicating appropriately--all the things a worry-type mom like me wants to hear. Perhaps the most important thing to know about Patrick right now is that he is EVERYWHERE! Under chairs, under the table, pulling himself up to his knees anywhere he can. We just can't take our eyes off him. More childproofing will be necessary for Patrick than it ever was for Will. He's an explorer. 

He's adorable. I'm the mom, but don't you agree?
This is his "say cheese" smile. Ha ha!
There's something that reminds me of his cousin Elliott, but what is it? And, in case you're wondering, he's smiling at our kitty, Peso. 
Peso loves the boys, but he needs to learn to run away when they start pulling his tail, grabbing his fur, etc. He'll just endure it until he can't take it and then he'll nip them. Yikes.

Dear Patrick,
I could look at you all day long! You have a personality that lights up a room, and a smile that knows no boundries.
With a single glance you have captured the hearts of many......especially mine.
From the day you were born, you were destined to follow your own path....and now that you're on your way, there's no stopping you!
You are an endearing little soul......
