Drew is 9 Months Old!

He had his 9-month doctor appointment today - and the doctor was very pleased. While Drew is in a very low percentile for weight still (5th) he is in the 60th percentile for his noggin size! Better that than vice versa.

He has acquired a new skill, one which the doctor says is usually exhibited by 11 month olds: he walks with a walking toy. Dr Grimes says that may mean he could be walking within a month. Time to get to some serious baby-proofing!

We were in Denver for the last several days. It was nice to be back again in our old, familiar home. We stayed at the very swanky Brown Palace Hotel in a lovely suite. That's sure the way to go! We visited old friends and ate at lots of our old favorite food stops - ate way tooooo much. But oh so good. Pineapple pancakes at Snooze - YES. And green chile from Benny's - Oh I miss you!

While there, we visited the Butterfly Pavilion where Andrew faced his fear of big, hairy spiders and held Rosie.
