Colgin's 9 month checkup (and standing on his own!)

Colgin had his 9 month appointment Thursday last week (a little early because we were going to be out of town later) and he didn't gain a pound but grew an inch (so he's 10% in weight and 50% in height...boooo). Doctor says to offer him more food but he also noticed how active Colgin was during the appointment and said not to worry since Colgin seemed more active than most. He's always eaten a lot (like adult portion man) so we aren't really doing anything different now except we don't feel as bad stuffing him with food.

He got his H1N1 shot also - which i was nervous about mainly because of my own ignorance around the vaccine but we now like to randomly look at Colgin and say "you got swine flu in you!" Not very PC but yeah...entertaining to us.

Anyway - so another milestone to celebrate! Later on that day, Colgin stood for at least 15 seconds on his own!! He does it here and there but randomly so we haven't been able to capture it on video (not that we are even trying anymore...i don't even know where our camera is...gosh). So yeah - we were pretty excited about it. We can't wait until he takes his first steps!

Lastly - since we haven't posted in such a long time, here are some pictures from Halloween of him. He won the costume contest at the Fall Festival at St. Luke's! He was surprisingly good in the pot.
