Lima Bean turned 10 months old earlier this week. For some reason, that seems really close to one year to me. Much closer than, say, 9 months did.
In honor of this occasion, Friday was a check-up day. A nine-month check-up, ha! We’ve gotten a whole month behind in our well-baby visits, but I’m sure that’s pretty common.
Turns out LB continues to be in fine health! Yay! And there were no shots with this visit, much to my immense pleasure (I’m sure as well as LB’s). Just had some questions about feeding for our little guy, as he’s really growing tired of the whole mom-feeding-me-with-a-spoon routine and really wanting to feed himself. We’re in the clear to add just about anything to his diet besides peanut butter and honey. This is sure to be an exciting time!
And it also turns out that LB is taking after his cousin Little Buchs and getting long and lean! He hasn’t gained much weight since his last check-up, but the doctor is not worried…just encouraging feedings whenever Lima Bean is hungry. I attribute a little of it to his lack of desire to eat at daycare, a situation which is kind of solving itself as LB becomes more accustomed to Educare.
We’re up to 7 teeth and a completely full head of hair. I just broke out some of our 12-month clothes, as we’re finding a lot of what we put on LB in the morning is stretched to its limits. LB is still crawling up a storm, cruising around the furniture, and pretty confident to walk from one item of furniture to the next as long as he’s still touching something. He’s also got a whole new realm of toys to discover and play with at Educare, and I know he’s excited to play with those each weekday.
I feel that one-year mark sneaking up on us…I know it’s going to be here in a wink. Gotta hold tight to these times!!!
