9 months

Zach is 21 lbs, 10 oz (90%), 30" (93%) and a 90% head circumference. ;-)

Overall he is a very happy and healthy baby. Crawling faster and faster, pulling up on everything (but not yet cruising). He even made it up a step this weekend (with supervision, of course)! He has starting clapping and is quite proud of himself. He has a fascination with putting things into and then getting those things out of bags/boxes (repeat...). He's figured out the "gumball" machine and puts ball after ball into the top, pushes the lever and gleefully watches the balls come down the chute and out of the lower opening, all while lights flash and music plays (a pretty cool toy). He can get a bit cranky if you take something cherished or hard worked for out of his hands (e.g., Caleigh's toy-of-the-moment, Caleigh's juice cup, Caleigh ;-).

The kids play pretty well together. Zach 'cheers' Caleigh on as she jumps, spins, and runs. Caleigh encourages Zach to crawl, pull up to standing, and read books (without eating them!).
