Preston is 9 Months!!!

Preston turned 9 Months old on June 29th and he is growing like a weed. We went to his 9 month check up and he is 23 lbs(85%)and 31in long (the average height of a 16 month old). He's off the charts in his height so were are hoping he keeps growing so we can sign this kid up for basketball.

A few things about P...
-He can say "Momma" and "Dadda"
-He throws actual temper tantrums with the kicking, screaming and everything else.
-He is going through a phase where he doesn't want to be fed baby food unless it has oatmeal in it.
-According to his doctor he can eat anything we eat(that he can actually chew and swallow) as long as it isn't whole milk, peanuts, and honey. So, he does. Preston is loving his expanded diet and maybe that's why he doesn't want baby food anymore.
-He pulls himself up on everything and walks around all the furniture.
-He can stand alone for 3-5 seconds but then he gets scared so he sits down. Today he actually stood by himself and took one step before he fell.
-I took a video of him saying "Momma" on my phone and he LOVES to sit in my lap and watch the video of himself. In the video he purses his lips and make a funny face and noise, and Preston laughs at that part EVERYTIME we watch it.
-He loves to touch feet, belts, tongues, glasses, jewelry and books. Oh, and everywhere he's not supposed to go, like behind the tv where all the power cords are.
-He has 5 teeth and is currently getting his 6th.
-He LOVES to bite everything. The couch cushions, shirts, us, toys, the carpet, us, blankets, pillows, my phone, and us.
-He loves using either his index finger and his thumb or just his index finger. For example, he will find the smallest crumb, piece of lint, whatever and use his tiny finger and thumb to pick it up. On our DirecTV remote he always finds the big yellow select button and pushes it with his index finger or tries to push the app buttons on my iPhone with his index finger.
-He knows how to open doors, cabinets, and drawers.
-He loves to stand at our big garden bath tub and turn the water on and off.
-He loves to open and close the shutters on the back door since those are the ones he can reach.
-He likes to play in the pantry, the dishwasher and the fridge
-He sleeps from 7:30-7:30 or 8
-He will give me at least one GREAT(2hr)nap and one OK(1hr) nap a day and sometimes, depending on if we've had a busy day, he will take 2 GREAT naps
-He has a fake laugh, cry, cough, and smile. He's such a cheese ball.
-He absolutely loves the pool/water, being outside, dogs, riding on daddy or grandpa's shoulders, going somewhere where there is so much to see (i.e the mall, the library, or walmart) and he LOVES his Mommy!!!!
