10 months

Loungin' . . . celebrating 10 months . . .

In reality he was flinging himself all over the chair so I don't even know how this pose happened.

Prior to Bo's little 10 month well visit, I started to suspect that this kid might actually have gained more than a handful of ounces.  

I don't know what gave me that impression.

I mean, there had been previous visits where I was absolutely positive he felt so much heavier in his carrier . . .  and really he hadn't gained a thing. 

And yet, I couldn't shake that feeling . . .

So yes, Bo had gained a couple pounds since his 8 month visit when our pediatrician pointed to his weight down in the second percentile.  He'd actually gained FIVE POUNDS, and is weighing almost 21 pounds these days!  He is square in the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference.  

So average. :)

Apparently he wasn't the only one packing on some winter pounds . . . 

Besides beefing up, Bo has become increasingly mobile this past month, eating lots of finger foods, and working on his littler personality.  He's saying Mama, Dada or Da-ee, Baba, and lately - Hiiiiiee!  I will try to get that on video because it's hilarious.  Especially because he ALWAYS says 'hi' to blankey but the rest don't really need to be greeted.  He's clapping, waving, throwing, putting things away (like stashing his toys in our shoes), kicking, crawling, clacking, and cruising.  

a before (November?) and after (January).
