9 Month Doctor Visit

Dante got flying colors at his nine month doctor visit. Height 30" / Weight 21 lbs / Head Circumference 46". Gross motor skills wise - Dante has mastered crawling and has his mind set on walking. One thing I see about Dante is that he's a very focused little boy when learning a new task. He doesn't get frustrated with failure and will try and try again until he gets it right. Such as pulling himself up on furniture. Once he discovered he can stand on his legs that's all he wanted to do. In one week he went from pulling himself up in his crib to cruising and balancing on all the living room furniture. His concentration is equally amazing and is not one to get distracted by room noise if he's engrossed in something else.

I call this picture his Moses picture. I took it in Fire Island at my friend Christina's house. We found a laundry basket filled with sheets and put d inside - he loved it and was content staying there all day if we let him - only to be heard every once in a while when he cooed :-)
