10-month stats

Des grew 2 inches in 2 months!

Weight: 24#, 2oz (85th %)
Height: 29 1/2 inches (90th %)
Head Circumference: 18 1/2 inches (90th %)

Dr. Walsh said he is "perfect"....we'll try not to let it go to his 90th percentile head!

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins!

We had a great time at Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm today...what a perfectly crisp fall day! Des had a ball. Here are some recent pics from his daily adventures in babying, along with shots from today. Enjoy!

Des LOVES bath time!

9 months!

We've had a few hectic weeks lately....the basement flooded, Des is cutting 3 new teeth and doing the army crawl, and we just returned from a road trip to KC! He is getting so big, so fast and looking more and more like a little boy and less like a baby! Here are a few portraits we had taken last week on the day he turned 9 months old....more to come!

Boo!

"Napettes" & Pooh beehive

We had planned to have Des's 8-month portraits taken today, but we are all too pooped from a 2-day garage sale! Des has taken several "napettes" today (that would be a nap of 45 mins or less in duration) but is still in rather good spirits! And he is quite fond of his new Pooh Beehive toy! He looks so grown up today....
