Three-quarters


Miss Alexis is now 9 months old! You know, 3/4 of a year!
We went to the playgroup again - Alexis spent the ENTIRE time on one of the ride-on scooter thingies and had a ball. Deuce made an attempt at the tricycle, but his legs were too long so he used it as a ride-on. He really had a lot of fun with all of the toys there. He seems to be becoming buddies with one little boy who comes every week with his grandmother - they "hi-fived" each other on the way out the door!
They had their check-ups today and are doing well. Deuce is now 3'4" tall. If the old wives tale is true about a child being half their height at age 3, he's going to be 6'8"!
Not too long after we got home from the doctor, Alexis crawled over to the ottoman where I was sitting and pulled up to stand! Did it again this afternoon at the couch, and started laughing! She's so proud of herself! (and I am too!)

With those monster feet I can definitely see him being 6'8"!
