Ryne went to the doctor this morning for his 9 month checkup. He now weighs 22 lbs (75th percentile) and he is almost 30" long (90th percentile). He received a finger prick to check for anemia and two shots. He wasn't happy about it, but he survived. The doctor said he looked great and that the orange nose is just from all the yellow/orange veggies. Whew! I thought my child might be turning into an Oompa Loompa. ;)
Ryne will turn 9 months old Friday. He is now crawling and pulling up. We have to keep him "fenced" away from Jax (& his dog food). We lowered the crib mattress all the way. He is also saying bye bye, which sounds like "ba ba ba ba". It is really cute. I can't wait until he says mama.
Then reach past your toes...you may find that pointing helps :)
Get a good stretch in your back.
Then rest for a minute...you deserve it! 
Now for the downward facing dog...concentration is the key. This pose requires steady hands & feet (toes really) and nothing but a diaper on?!
He is also sitting up totally on his own now. It has made life a little easier. I can put him in the seat of the shopping cart. Which is great because he no longer fits in his carrier. :/
