We met in 2002 while we were both working at BookPeople in Austin, Texas. We got married on June 18, 2005 and now live in a small house in North Austin with our two dogs, Coltrane and Miles, and our three cats - Gnosis, Nona, and Kali. Brian works as an Editorial Assistant at the University of Texas Press and Elizabeth still works at BookPeople as a buyer and the Inventory Operations Manager.

On April 12, 2009 we welcome our first child, Oliver Mott, into our family and on February 12, 2013, his little brother, Henry Charles, joined us three weeks before his expected due date.

Nine Month Wellness Visit


We took Oliver in for his nine month wellness check on Thursday. I can’t believe he’s nine months old already. His first birthday will be here before we know it. Time’s moving so fast.

Here are his stats:

As a refresher, at six months:

Weight: 19 pounds, 3 ounces (80th percentile)
Height: 26.5 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumference: 17.8 inches (85th percentile)


Nine Months:

Weight:  21 pounds, 13 ounces (70th percentile)
Height: 28 1/2 inches (55th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18.5 inches (92nd percentile)

His percentiles are all over the place. And, apparently he has a giant noggin!

We had a nice visit with the pediatrician. Oliver is meeting most of his developmental milestones on time or early. The only area of concern seems to be that he doesn’t look up when we call his name. His hearing is fine (he’ll look up when we rattle a toy) but he doesn’t seem to know his name. So, we’re keeping an eye on that and will address it at his one-year check if he hasn’t figured it out. In general, Oliver has always been “slow” when it comes to verbal development, focusing instead on trying to get around so I’m not too worried about it.
