9 Months Old!

Little Boy is officially 9 months old, as of Saturday!

His Aunt, Uncle and Cousin J came down Saturday to hang out.  J is a crazy man, who eats like a horse and lives to climb things.  But, he is pretty funny, and it's pretty funny to watch an 8 1/2 month old cram food into his cram-hole until there's nothing left to do.  But, he must have rubbed off on Little Boy, because on Sunday, Little Boy started to feed himself his sweet potato puffs (sweet potato flavored rice puffs).  We're working on the sippy cup.  He's definitely going to be right handed -- that's the dominant hand, for sure.

His doctor appt was very good.  He's 28 inches and 19 pounds.  I think that he's longer than 28 inches, but that height thing can be a bit subjective.  If you don't get the leg straight or get the head line right, it can be skewed.  Head size is still 95th percentile.  We're transitioning to table foods the rest of the way in the next three months, and should be converted to whole milk and table food by 1 year.  He's much better with chewing now too, so that's a very good thing.  No teeth about to make their immediate arrival, but they are coming eventually.

I'm amazed that it's been 9 months already!  Before I know it, it will be May and I will have to be thinking about birthday parties and such.  I'm looking forward to my first Mother's Day -- missed it by three days last year.  I'm thinking brunch at Brocach would be amazing.  Even Little Boy could eat some eggs and biscuits and whatever else.  and I can have myself Mimosas until I can't walk.
