Cause-And-Effect

Michael is hitting his milestones at a fast and furious pace. One of his most hilarious ones lately is the understanding of cause-and-effect. As you can see from the video above, he will repeat some silly activity a million times to see what effect he has made. Yeah, the door jam was an innocuous example, but it wasn't quite so cute when he pressed the same button on our printer a million times and crumpled all the pieces of paper that came out of it. (And, of course, Katie had to try it, too.)

Anyway, this milestone was just one of many that we talked about with Michael's pediatrician today at his 9-month appointment. The doc was extremely pleased with Michael's progress and growth. Only one bummer to come out of the visit: unless things change over the next couple of months, our little baby will probably have to have surgery to get his tear duct unclogged (sniff, sniff.) Well, we'll worry about that when we see the specialist. To end on a positive note, here are the latest stats: 29.5 inches (86th percentile) and 20 lbs, 14 oz. (56th). Guess he's been burning some major calories with all of his movement!
