9 Months Old

(Please click on the photo to see more pictures.)

Well, well, well... two posts in two days. I don't want anyone to get spoiled, but I guess the stars just seemed to align.

Jake is 9 months old today, and did pretty well at his checkup. He got a flu shot and some blood drawn. We also found out that he needs to have an ultrasound done next week on his melon. Apparently his height and weight (27 1/4 inches, 19 pounds 8 ounces) are around the 35 percentile while his head size is in the 95 percentile. I think he's just going to be smarter than Michele or I, but the doctors think we should take a look just to be sure.

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post that while Meme and Alison watched Jake on Saturday, we went out to dinner and a movie with Mark and Kelly as our Christmas gift to each other. It's something we started with Dan and Lynette back when they were in Chicago, and we thought it would work well with these Wolverines as well. We had a delicious dinner at The Claddagh in Livonia, and then saw Deja Vu. We all thought the movie was pretty good, but probably a rent (if you don't see it in the theater). We'll be going out with Dan and Lynette on the 29th as long as she doesn't decide to give birth to "Coline" before then.

While I'm working for, hopefully, the last day of the year tomorrow, Michele will be getting together with "the girls". We are then planning on heading up to Grand Blanc on Saturday.
