Where's Elmo?



Lately we've have realized that Rex understands more than we give him credit for. He recently got a little Elmo stuffed doll which he loves. About a week ago, I asked him "Where's Elmo, go get him" and he crawled across the room to attack the doll. We've been doing, "Where's Elmo?" all week. Last night I realized he probably didn't even know "Where's Mommy?" so we tried. I was right. He knows Elmo by name and he doesn't know or understand Mommy or Daddy. How sad.

My Little Guy is 9 Months!


I took Rex to his appointment yesterday. What else can I say, he is tiny with a huge head (this would probably explain why he still fits into 3-6 month clothes, except we can't get them over his noggin).We love him!

Weight - 16.8 lbs 4%
Height - 27.4" 26%
Head - 18.9" 98%


Rex is the most alert, focused, "thinker" I've ever seen! He is a fairly serious baby (unless he's playing with his dad). He connects to people with his eyes and seems to always be thinking and imagining. He is very strong and since he is small, he can do things I rarely anticipate. We have a wicker toy box that is just a few inches shorter than he is. Yesterday, I turned my back for a few seconds only to find his feet sticking out the top. He had pulled himself up and over the side, down into the toy box. He can climb into chairs and pull up on anything. He babbles constantly. I can't wait until he can talk. We'll probably never hear the end of it.

We love our baby boy!
