8 & 9 Months

Sorry! We've been busy doing things and this hasn't been at the top of the list. We had Japheth's 9 month visit Dec 11th, he was 26 1/2 inches, and 15 lb 6 oz. That keeps him short, and it means he lost 4 oz from his 6 month check up. It's unusual, but not too concerning since he eats well, we just have to get a little more in him, which he's been good at doing. He has been crawling all over the place since Nov. 11th and can climb to standing potition on just about anything. He now has four teeth, 2 bottom, and 2 top.

We're all doing well. Douglas has recently finished fall semester, and he got all A's again. He's doing great! He's really excited about getting closer to being done. He's decided that he'll go into ultrasound. There are 2 kinds- diagnostic, and cardiac. Diagnostic is the one everyone thinks of, doing babies in the woomb and other soft tissue (abdomens and vascular). Cardiac is looking at the heart. He's not sure which one yet, but will apply to both and decide a little later. Currently he's leaning to cardiac. We're hoping that he can find a hospitol that will pay for his student hours. JVH, where he's at now, won't have an opening for cardiac.
