Happy Belated 9 Month Birthday Evan :)

evan turned 9 mos yesterday. he had a doctors appointment and here is the rundown...

22 lbs - 75th percentile
29 inches - 75th percentile

that means that he is starting to thin out a bit (although you wouldnt be able to tell if you saw him eat), but he jumped from the 50th percentile in height 3 mos ago to the 75th...sweet! please dont be short...please dont be short. however, his head is still only in the 25 percentile...so he still has a small head...oh well, you cant win them all.

tonight he ate 1 whole avocado, almost 1/3 of a banana, and multigrain rice cereal...along with licking an apple, and he will prob have about 8 oz of milk tonight. if you put all that food into a ball, it would be bigger than both my hands put together. HOW DOES HE FIT THAT INTO HIS BODY?!?!?!?!

his favorite meals...
-blueberry, apple, and multigrain cereal
-anything with avocado
-anything with banana
-things flavored with cumin
-things flavored with garlic
-cheese...he inherited this from both uncle moussas
-carrots, celery, chicken, and whole milk yogurt
-beef...is this really surprising...look at his parental units.
-anything with whole milk yogurt
-anything we are eating
-water...when in a cup...not in a sippee cup (remember he likes doing what we do, and we dont drink from sippee cups)

so we are teaching him to grab food and put them in his mouth. he is pretty animated when he eats, and always likes to eat what we eat, he doesnt want baby food anymore. here is an example of him doing that very thing...
