PJ is 9 months!

Pj is 9 months and I am afraid to blink because he may become ten months.  I know that its such a cliche to say, but there is no other way to describe the last month.  Perhaps the month went by because now putting him down in one place means nothing more than a starting point that he will not be at for long.  If we give PJ a very interesting toy like a wooden spoon or a big bowl he may sit still for longer than a moment, but for the most part he is on the move.  We got exactly what we wished for last month, since he is now crawling and even walking while pushing his little cart, and its more fun than work.  PJ is so happy to explore and discover, and who doesn't want to see there child smile.
At PJ's 9 month doctor appointment he weighed in at 20 pounds and 29 inches.  He is around 45% for weight and 78% for height.  The doctor said that he is doing great.  The most unexpected bit of advice from the doctor was to be prepared for bruises and scrapes, its going to be our normal for the next few years.  I am not surprised by the advice, but I hadn't even thought about it.  Funny thing is, the very next day PJ got quite the nasty bruise on his ear and it was comforting to know that he is normal.
We haven't seen any more teeth break the gum line since his first two arrived, but if drool is any measure then all 18 teeth left will be here any day now.  PJ  drools a lot!  I can't tell if its teething or maybe he is so busy thinking about his next move there is no time to swallow.  Either way we are having to change his bib pretty regularly.
So does he look any older?
