Nine Months

Oh, Little Stink,

Nine months old has been a lot of fun. We're seeing more of your personality showing through, although you're still generally easygoing and good-natured. Still not crawling yet, but very seriously thinking about it (lunging, sometimes Army crawling). You've mastered the eating of baby food and are enjoying some 'real' food. You still prefer to be carried all the time and scream whenever you suddenly find yourself alone in a room. Fifth child problems. 

At your nine month appointment you were:

Weight: 21 lbs, 1 oz

Height: 30 inches

95th percentile for head

When you poop on your monkey towel, you have to use the pink girl towel.

Apparently you're not bothered by this at all. 

Current favorite things to explore:

mouths, teeth, nostrils, eyeballs

Selfies with your favorite Memma Knox.

Totally relaxed on Seth's lap.

Watching the snow fall

You LOVED the water at Port Discovery!

You're also very much interested in grown-up food now.

For example:

Oranges.

With the peel still on. 

We sure love you, little one! I'm not sure there's ever been a baby more loved on than you.
