Miller is 9 Months

On May 23, Miller turned 9 months old. It is really hard to believe that in 3 short months, our sweet baby will be a year old. He truly makes us smile every day with his little antics and personality.

On May 29, Miller went for his 9 month checkup. He weighs 23.5 pounds and is 30.25 inches long. Dr. Blake says he is still in the 90th percentile for weight and height. He also said that Miller's skin looks better, and that he is very healthy. We are blessed with not only his health, but also Miles' good health. I thank God every day for that!

This is one of his favorite places to pull up--the dog gate.

As mentioned earlier, everything gets put in his mouth.

He enjoys the park just like his brother.

All smiles after his first 5K.

Time for your checkup. This is typical of any checkup nowadays. Miles plays with the doctor's tools while Miller messes up the paper and goes everywhere.

Look at those teeth!

The boys love to play together. In this instance, it was a box. They loved that thing!

Miller likes to play games...and is very determined to win!

He also loves puffs. This was his first time eating them.

This was a while ago...he now can climb all the way to the top of the stairs with a quickness.

Miller and the dogs' water bowl, his other favorite guilty pleasure.
