What Little Boys are Made of...

Holden turned 9 months old earlier this week. His 9 month check-up was great. He is 18 lb 7 oz and 27 inches long, which puts him in the 10% percentile. We were given the all clear by the doctor to start giving him table food, which is great in theory. Less pureeing for me possibly in the future. However, Holden gags at any little bit of chunkiness so I think it will be a while before he is eating lasagna with the rest of us.

Holden's personality is developing quickly. He is a pretty laid back kid most of the time, but when he is fed up or wants something his lack of patience is apparent. He doesn't get that from his father or anything.

Holden has had some new experiences in the last month. He celebrated his first Thanksgiving, and is officially not a vegetarian anymore, with his first turkey dinner. He has started becoming a bit more mobile, not crawling per say, but with his scooting and rolling he gets around. We have started slowly baby proofing since everyone keeps telling us that once he figures out how to crawl it will be a race to finish the baby proofing.

He has started splashing at bath time, makes things fun for Holden, messy for Dad. He has been babbling up a storm, and screeches in delight whenever Malachi or the cats are close to him. The animals don't share that sentiment quite yet.
