Rice Cereal, Jumperoo, 9 Month Clothing?

I think Ryder has hit a big ole growth spurt over night. What in the world do they put in that rice cereal?! We started giving him cereal about two weeks ago and I don't know if it's just in my head, but he looks huge! Yesterday morning I had to go into work early so I pulled out the clothes JM needed to change Ryder into before taking him to Connie's. He called me later in the day and asked why I pulled out shorts for Ryder during the winter time. I said no, those are pants... he just wore the outfit last week. When I picked Ryder up from Connie's I saw it... the poor baby was some kind of flooding. The bottom of the pants literally ended at his knee caps. What is this? I guess it's time to do some more cleaning out in the closet. I have been holding off on a whole stack of clothes that are 6-9 months for the obvious reason that he is 4 1/2 months old. Just out of boredom, I put Ryder in a 9 month outfit, fit like a charm! Don't they come to a point sometime in the first year where they kind of stay at one certain size for a while? I'm ready for that, he's growing way too fast.
On Sunday we rushed out to Babies-R-Us to buy him a Jumperoo. We were so excited we could barely wait to get home and put him in it. JM put it together in just a few minutes and it was finally time to try it out. I don't know what we were expecting, but it wasn't what we got. I think we thought he was going to be jumping like bonkers all over the place and laughing up a storm. No. He just kind of sat there and stared at us. However, he has warmed up to it over the past few days and has bent his knees a few times to make it bounce.
