9 months old

Our little guy is already 9 months old!  Time flies.  At his checkup, he weighed in at 22 lb, 11oz with a height of 30 inches on the dot.  Surprisingly, that means he's gotten a little skinnier:  80th percentile for weight, 90th for height.  Daddy is slowly giving up his dream of having a sumo wrestler son.  Our pediatrician is satisfied with his growth curve though.  She thinks he'll eventually be lower than 50th percentile for weight.  We'll see.  There was a little time left in our appointment, so in less than a minute  she taught him how to do high-fives.  If only it were that easy to teach him to do other things, like lying still for diaper changes, or holding his pee in the bathtub.
Another trick is if you tell him to give you a "pbo-pbo" (kiss in Korean), he'll come at you with his mouth wide open and try to slobber your face with his drooly mouth.  It's a little gross, but we let him do it since it's so darn cute.
He loves to mess things up now.  He'll dump all his toys out of the box and scatter them all over.  He can't resist knocking down any tower of blocks that you build in front of him.  The little munchkin is sneaky too.  Sometimes he'll hang back until your guard is down, and then he'll suddenly lunge at the blocks to knock them over.
He's able to stand really fast now, and he's starting to cruise along furniture too.  Always on the move.  We can never get too comfortable when he's awake.
