9-month stats

Jacob had his 9-month Well Baby Visit this morning and here are his stats:

height: 29.41 inches = 90th percentile (Joseph was 30 inches at 9 months)
weight: 22 lbs. 15.44 oz. - 85th percentile (Joseph was 23 lbs. 13 oz.) Seriously 1/2 ounce off of 23 pounds. I should have let him finish the bottle before we weighed him! :)
head: 46 cm = 75th percentile

Also, since my official What-He's-Doing-At-9-Months post, Jacob now has 6 teeth (4 on the top, 2 on the bottom) and is pulling himself up to a kneeling position.

He seems to also have a death wish. After being spoiled by his older brother who didn't bother much except for playing cards and DVDs, we are having to baby proof the house in ways we didn't imagine. Jacob makes a beeline for outlets and doorstops. He first tears the rubber tips off the door stop and then unscrews the entire metal stop from the wall. Both items go in his mouth. Most of the door stops have been removed by his parents. When you come to our house, please open the doors carefully. My mother-in-law brought us a bag of outlet covers this weekend. I took a moment yesterday afternoon to put them on all the outlets downstairs. I thought Jacob was happily occupied in the center of the living room between the ottoman and sectional couch. When I returned two minutes later, he had made his way around the entire sectional to the back corner of the living room and was chewing on the lamp cord. The lamp cord was tucked behind the table and nailed to the wall this morning by his daddy.
