Patrick at Nine Months

Patrick turned three-quarters of a year this week, so we figured it was time for an update. First, I’ll share some stats: Patrick is officially 31.5” long, which is really tall. Both Jordan and our doctor suspect he’s actually a little shorter than that. Either way, he’s north of the 95% range for height. He’s not getting huge, though. He’s 21.2 lbs, which places him squarely in the 50-75% range. Still very healthy, but his growth has slowed a bit. We’ve received instructions to fatten him up a bit.

Second, we’re proud to note that Patrick is now walking! He still can’t stand up without using a wall or a chair or a dog, but once he’s up he can walk all over the place. Here are a few videos that show of his skills. We took these a week or so ago. He’s improved even more since then.

Yes, this is quite on the early side. But we know better than to get too excited about our little genius.
