3/4 of a year old

Wednesday was Benjamin's 9 month check up, which was the greatest doctor's appointment yet, if you ask him. Dr. Brown said he was cute about a million times, and best of all NO SHOTS. It was good all around! So, vital stats are a little fuzzy, since this was a few days ago, but the basics are that Jammy is 28" tall, and 18lbs 4 oz (I think). He is a little over 50th percentile for height, and a little under for weight. He was very determined to spend the whole appointment playing in the biohazard trash can, and very mad that I didn't want him to. He could only be distracted by sitting on the edge of the sink and playing in the water. Dr. Brown was funny, she commented again on his deep voice, and his uber blond nordic-yness - she thinks we should call him Sven, or maybe Anders. Neither of which were on the name list, and do not rate high even on my nick name list. She did publish an edit that we must be offering him solid foods 3 times a day, and also must get to work on the child proofing. Yikes. Not ready for mobility yet.
