9 months old

This weekend we had Kade's 9 month/Easter pictures taken. I was a little worried how he would do because he has really been going through the stranger anxiety thing. But, he did so good. He posed for all the pictures and had a great time laughing at the photographers. My favorite are the pictures with the bunny ears. Tim was not so thrilled with the bunny ears when I bought them, but he did admit the pictures turned out cute! Kade's hair was extra crazy this morning. We tried to fix it a little, but could not get it to lay down much. So we decided to just let his hair go natural. It was sticking up everywhere. The top is getting so long!
He is getting such a funny little personality. This week he started doing this thing where he acts like he is going to give you a kiss and then he blows on your cheek to make noise. He laughs so hard and we laugh too so he keeps doing it over and over, by the time he is done our face is covered in Kade slobber. It's so funny! Also, his new favorite thing to do when he is done eating his baby food is to spit it at you. That is not so funny when you are covered in green beans. I'm really trying to teach him not to spit his food, but after he does it he laughs his cute little laugh and it's sometimes hard for me to keep my "that's not nice" face.
He went for his 9 month check up on Tuesday. He was 20 1/3 lbs. (50th percentile) and
29 inches (90th percentile). The doctor said he was doing well. Kade got one shot and they took some blood just for a routine check. The next day they called and said his white blood cell count was slightly low and they wanted to check it in a week. The nurse said it was most likely due to the ear infection he had a while ago. Of course I started worrying right away. When you research on the Internet the worst things always come up. After talking with a few people that have had similar situations I feel a little better about it. He will go back this Tuesday for another blood test. I'm praying that everything will be normal this time. I better quit blogging for now and go get some laundry done.
