Nine months! Our little monkey keeps growing up way too fast, but we're having so much fun in each new stage. This boy is busy. He's crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything, and grabbing everything he can get his hands on. Needless to say, he's a handful these days.
We got his official stats at his well-baby check-up. He's up to 21 lb, 5 oz. (64th percentile) and 28.5 inches (60th percentile). His head however, just won't stop growing. We were curious to see if it would be off the charts this time, but it squeaked by at 99 percentile. Clearly, we have a genius on our hands.
I'm planning a post specifically talking about food and eating, but I will say that Nixon is loving solids. We're done with purees for the most part, and his lack of teeth doesn't slow him down too much, though obviously we stick to soft/mushy foods that he can easily chew.
Nixon's thoughts on life as a nine-month-old:
- Diaper changes must be escaped from at all costs
- Baths are super fun but being dried off is the worst form of torture imaginable
- Mommy's cool and all, but Dad coming home from work is the best part of the day
- The world is my jungle gym
- I really hope Mommy and Daddy stop calling me Boo Boo McNixon before high school
- If Mom and Dad make me sit in my carseat for more than twenty minutes one more time, I'm going to scream. Oh wait, I already do that.
Things Nixon has been loving this month:
- Bananas and broccoli
- The park - it's finally cool enough to be outside during the day, so we've discovered the joy that is swinging
- Blowing raspberries on any surface, including but not limited to: your face, windows, the fridge, and the floor.
