Manners, what manners?


O is usually such a well-behaved fella when he's eating. He always sits patiently in his high chair and enjoys some Puffs while we fix his dinner. (I'm not kidding - he is quiet and sits with his mouth open like a little baby bird waiting for us to feed him.)

Last night, however, he found it amusing to push his tongue out every time I tried to give him a spoonful of peaches. Then, with his entire mouth full of mixed turkey and rice and peaches (yum), he blew it all over the kitchen - on mommy, on his high chair, on the floor - it was everywhere. Of course, I was hysterical but trying not to laugh. And yes, those are peaches on his forehead!

Over the weekend

Mimi came down and stayed with us since K was going out of town for the weekend. O was holding onto the coffee table and took two steps forward. I'm not sure if it counts or not, but wanted to document it!

Two beautiful syllables

O finally said "mama" this morning on the way to work. Then he said it over and over and over again in the backseat. Music to my ears ...

Tooth #3

Came in last night. O has been a little crabby lately, with good reason. The top right tooth is peeking out ...

On Saturday, O showed us his new trick: clapping his hands. He is so adorable. He's also been playing "catch" with mommy and daddy - rolling the baseball on the floor to us and handing it back to us - it is precious.

9 Month Update

Since I've become such a slacker at actually recording anything in my "real" journal these days, I figure I'll post O updates online.

At 9 months, O's vital stats:
  • 20 lbs, 6 oz
  • 28.25 inches long
  • Head circumference=17.5 inches

What he's doing:

  • Tilting head to one side when he looks at you
  • Engaged at playing patty-cake
  • Eating Stage 2 Gerber foods (favorites: bananas & squash - separately of course)
  • Sleeping more and more on his tummy
  • Waving hi to the ladies (what a flirt!)
  • Doing 360's on his tummy
  • Pulling up (although he's still not sure he can do it on his own)

Our little prodigy ... 8 months and 23 days old

O smiled and waved hi to the director at Cousin P's daycare today ... ALL ON HIS OWN. Our little prodigy - we're signing him up for Mensa this afternoon.
