Actually Arlo was 9 months last month on the 30th, but I still want to give my update!
We went to the doctors and found out lots of great information like...
Arlo is 31 inches tall, 22.5 lbs and has a 18 inch head. He also has an underbite which means we are going to have major orthodontic bills.
The past few weeks have been filled with new tricks and new sides of Arlo that we have never seen before!
For example, Arlo is now clapping all the time!
He is also learning to blow bubbles in the bath!
It is hard to see in this picture but there are bath bubbles all over his face because he thinks it is so cool to act like a spaz and fall over in the tub (on his tummy) and then freeze... put his face in the water... and blow. He comes from a family of swimmers and he is proving that he will live up to the Boone expectations for him! I am one proud, proud mama!
He is also learning to hold his bottle all by himself!
He is in his box right now (the shadow), and he loves being independent and holding his bottle. The only problem that I am having right now with Arlo holding his bottle is that as it gets to the end he likes to shake it all around and get milk everywhere (which is why he is in his box;-))
His biggest accomplishment as of yet is standing up all by himself without support. I know I posted about this before, but that was when he would already be standing and let go for a max of like 5 seconds before he fell down. Now, he pushes up from the ground to stand up all by himself, he also pulls on everyone and everything to stand up, let go and then clap for himself because he is standing all by himself. He has gotten so good at standing up all by himself that he can do it for about 20 seconds clapping and shaking his head in excitement. I would post a picture of this, but I have realized that I do not have any pictures of him standing on his own, I do have about 10 videos of it, but I do not know how to get them from my Sony camcorder to my mac (HELP!!!)
This past few weeks Arlo has really been showing his wild side. He really, Really, REALLY loves stuffed animals and when he sees them... all he wants to do is give them love.
Wow! An animal, I love these!
Look how excited I am!
I want to give it love!
More, More love!
Okay, that was fun... What's next???ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOTE:
We went to the Chocolate Festival this weekend... Tim hated every second, but the weather was perfect and I ate some wonderful chocolate! And while I was there look who I saw...
yes that is right, Captain Jack Sparrow himself!!! The festival was actually filled with a bunch of dirty hippies (which is why Tim was so miserable!) After the Chocolate festival, we went to my Moms to play and I made a bet with my step dad that the Colts will win the superbowl and as many of you now know... I lost!
Peyton I am so disappointed in you! Not because I lost money, but because you let me down. I trusted you and you broke my heart! I am done with football!

Arlo is so tall and very talented. Caleb just started clapping today and waived for the first time the other day. It's crazy how quickly they pick up on things. I bet Arlo is going to be walking soon. Caleb stands and takes a step, but then falls. We are in trouble.
Arlo is so cute, those pictures of him loving the animals is priceless. Damone was upset about the colts losing too. He is loyal to his Indiana teams.
