Roman was officially 9 months old on December 12th, but we went today for his check up. He's doing great. Here are his stats:
weight: 21lb 11oz (75%)
height: 28-3/4" (85%)
head circ: 46.5 (80%)
Wow! Things are changing in the Franks household!!
Roman now crawls everywhere and is getting into everything! He walks around things like the ottoman while holding on. He definitely tests himself by standing on his own. If he falls, he just gets back up and tries again. That's my boy!

"Is this present for me?!"
"Wow, lot's of stuff to play with..."
We now feed him 3 meals a day. Eating has been a little harder than before. Roman has gotten a little more picky with his food choices. Daddy and I make homemade soups and pastas that Roman will eat. Every day is now an adventure. The doctor just told me that he can eat pretty much anything now but honey, cow's milk, and peanut butter. Yippee! Our goal is for the family to always eat the same thing. I don't want to have to make 2 separate meals!!
Roman is getting around 30 oz of milk a day and I'm still able to nurse him in the mornings. Then he has (3) 8 oz bottles of formula. He takes 2 naps a day that are usually 1-1/2 hours long and sleeps around 11 hours at night. (Unless he's sick!)
Roman speaks!! His favorite "word" is "ba ba ba ba" and of course "da da da". I keep trying for "ma ma", but we're working on it. He gets excited and calls the dog "ba ba" and pretty much everything else that he see is "ba ba"! So cute!!
Roman is still wearing a size 4 diaper and is now in mostly size 12 month clothes. He has some 12-18 month stuff. My big boy!
He recognizes us so much better now. The other night, daddy came home from a trip and Roman, Captain, and I were on the floor waiting for him as soon as we heard the garage door open. His face lit up when he saw daddy and I swear he said, "da da" in the mist of all the "ba ba's"! It was simply adorable!! When I pick him up from school, his face lights up and he gets so happy that when I hold him, he literally squeezes his little thighs and hugs me. So cute!!
Also, when daddy is away on a trip, Roman and I will talk to him on the speaker phone. His face lights up when he hears daddy's voice. I love it!!
Roman,
You are growing so fast right before our eyes! Each day with you is a new adventure! We love you so much and treasure every moment we have together.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

He is just adorable. I feel like it was yesterday in the torrential pouring rain, i waddled my way to see him. He is just amazing!! I agree the best feeling in the world is when their little face lights up when they see you when you pick them up!!
He is such a cutie. I always thought he looked so much like Matt, but I see a lot of you in him now. He is a good mix I think. He looks like such a happy guy !
