9 months 18 days old.
We went to the doctor last Tuesday and he weighed 22 lb, 2 oz, and was 29 3/4" long--90th percentile.
He is walking! He takes a few steps and then usually plops down, because he's a ninja on his knees. That kid can crawl, I tell ya.
He learned to pivot and turn on his feet this weekend.
He does NOT like to sleep. He can be convinced to sleep as long as you would like to sit and hold him while he does so. He usually goes to bed about 9:30, and wakes up around 11:30, 1:30, 5:00, and 7:30. He naps in one-hour increments.
He likes baby food a bit, but would prefer a bite of whatever you're having. He still eats oatmeal with applesauce for breakfast, and will tolerate fruits in the evening, but likes to decorate the walls and ceilings with any other pureed veggie that you try to sneak by him. He'd rather have chicken and green beans and mashed potatoes, and who could blame him?!
He has mastered the wave, clapping, and the pincer grip.
He doesn't really like words, preferring instead random syllables (but he has pronounced almost every beginning sound in the alphabet). A few times he's said "Mama" but I'm not sure it was on purpose. His favorite words are "ooo--ooo" (usually heard when a car drives by).
He loves cars, cords, music, Elmo, balls, the *real* remote control, and his Mommy.
When he eats in his highchair, he slumps down so that he can prop his toes up.
He's got the cutest baby grin on the planet and he looks a lot like his big sister :)
I have loved being at home and watching him grow this summer, and I'm not sure how I'm going to go back to school without him :)
