9 months



Holy smokes 3/4 of a year have flashed before our eyes!

You are developing quite the personality. I have to admit that you are a lot more chill and even keeled than I expected, but you do have your moments of grumpiness(dinner thrown all over the dining room floor), wakefulness(party in your crib, 2am?) or pure energy (Joey's specialty).
Personality wise you stay, for the most part, constantly happy or amused. You take in your surroundings and tend to observe first, react second.
Physically you are a bean pole. Not surprisingly so, you are 93rd percentile for height measuring in at 2'5.75 inches, but you are a lean 19lbs 7.5 oz, which is only 47th percentile. You also have "ginger days." Sometimes I swear your hair is turning red! But you have the brightest baby blues I have ever seen. Swoon worthy of course!

Most days are spent around the house. You take two solid naps a day and usually escort me to the grocery store and errand running when Joey is in preschool.
We recently started trying more texture in the food department, but each day is hit or miss for you. I am so thankful that I still nurse you. It's one of the only times in the day where you let me hold you and I get to gaze into your eyes and relax. Of course, you get distracted easily, so those moments are rare as well.

One of my favorite things you do is take advantage of fallen gates and open areas. The moment Joey moves a gate to get by you make a move for his room. You are predictable in that you go for the Hot Wheels bin in his room and typically grab the same car each time. Luckily, Joey is such a good sharer. His favorite thing to do is show you all his toys in his room and ask if we can all play in there so you can be monitored, while playing with his toys. In a million years I never expected that Joey would be the ultimate big brother to you. I thought for sure he would have typical resentment or non-sharing issues, but he never does. You are so lucky to have the best big brother ever!
