Well, we're late yet again. Our little boy is getting bigger every day and discovering things and moving on to new ones before we can capture it on film. Keeping up with him is getting fun! ; )
He had his 9 month check up and all is well. He was at 1/2 an ounce shy of 21 pounds and 27 1/2 inches long. So he's right in the middle on the scale for weight, but a little on the short side. With Dad's genes, though, we don't think he'll stay on the short side for long.
He's into "big boy" food now since he has eight teeth. His favorites are peaches, cheerios and scones. (He had scones today and loved them.) He's not sure about chicken yet, but we're going to try it again soon. We've also tried cheese in very small amounts and he's a big fan. He gets excited to eat from our plates now instead of just pureed everything. With that many teeth, he should be eating steak!
The new thing is Mr. Comedian squints at you to make you laugh. Too cute. He also loves an audience and coughs or makes a noise to get attention. His new noise is TV static or hissing. What a hoot.
All in all, he's still a riot to be around and sleeping like a champ finally. We're very fortunate and thankful everyday for him and everything we have. Hope to write again soon. Maybe more timely next time...
