How Big Is Reeves?

"May I please have some?"

OK, I got a good tongue lashing from Caroline last night for not having done this sooner. We had Reeves nine month well visit on Monday. Everything went great. Reeves weighs 19 pounds, 10 ounces and is 30 inches long. His weight is in the 35th percentile, and his height is in the 95th. His head circumference (I can't remember what it it) is in the 50th percentile. Wouldn't it be great if it could stay that way for the rest of his life! Anyway, she is most impressed with him. We are going to start giving him lots of finger foods now. She said to go finger foods first, then baby food as a back up. As you can see, he is quite interested in what we are eating.
It is amazing the transformation just over this weekend and this week. He is now readily picking up bits of food and putting them in his mouth. He doesn't always keep them there, but it's a start. We gave him some chicken last night, and he really seamed to like it. He's not too big on peach bits yet. He loves the Gerber puffs. Peas are apparently only for mushing and flinging. I guess it's because they roll so well. Rice looks like it will be a favorite food, though. I guess he takes after his Aunt Lol, "I'll eat ma rice, but na ma paas."
Needless to say, the floor under his chair is needing multiple cleanings. This is when I wish we had a dog!
