Today, I took the "little man" to the Dr. for his 9 month checkup.
He weighs 23 lbs and 29 1/2 inches. That's the 80th percentile for both.
I thought he'd weigh more. Maybe my arms are just weak.
BJ does really well in the Dr.'s office up until this point. I think it was about this age that Arianna decided to hate that place. So, we'll see in about 3 more months how Mr. BJ decides to react to it.
At 9 months old, BJ is scooting around, following Arianna everywhere, pulling, grabbing and eating up a storm. He will get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but hasn't taken off on all fours yet.
Still has NO teeth. Pediatrician said that is ok until 14 months old.
BJ says mama and dada. He also says "hi" but I think it is just a sound coming out of
his mouth, with no intention of the meaning of the word.
Food. Oh Boy. What doesn't he eat? Umm...can't think of much. He will eat tablefood as long as it is in small pieces. And I think he's a chipmunk. This boy will stuff bread in his mouth, take more bites, and will not have swallowed the previous pieces.
Last but not least. BJ is Arianna's biggest fan. He watches every move she makes. He follows her around as best he can. He laughs and smiles as soon as she gets close.
Example: Last night we were at Grammie's house when Arianna was on the porch hanging out with the adults in the nice breeze. BJ and I were inside. Somehow he managed to find the sliding glass door. Low and behold he could see Arianna. She comes running to him (on the outside of the glass). And through the door they just laughed and "talked" to each other.
What great kids. I hope and pray they will remain this close for a long, long time.
