Pork chops...and applesauce!

Wow - fat boy has really started enjoying all kinds of table foods this past week. I took him for his 9 month check-up and he weighed in at a whopping 26.4 pounds and was 31 3/4 inches tall - 97th and 99th percentile respectively. The doctor actually said he was right on target height for weight because he was so BIG all around.

His daycare called Monday and asked if they could give him table foods. Sure, I said, just make sure you cut it up tiny so he can eat it - yeah, like he ever had any problems with that! In the past week he has eaten the following:
  • smoked sausage
  • noodles
  • hotdogs
  • baked beans
  • chicken strips
  • french fries
  • corn
  • carrots
  • garden peas
  • roast beef
I swear, he is completely opposite from Arwen. She never wants to eat anything. I took her to her 3 year old check week before last and she only weighed in at 34 pounds and was 38 inches tall. She is 3 YEARS OLD and her 9 month old brother only has about 8 pounds and 7 inches to go to catch her!!!

She has been sick the past few days. I hate it when she is sick because she is so pitiful. I hope she gets over it soon.

I leave you with a picture of me and my "big girl-baby" goofing off. I love our time together.
