We took Asa to his 9 month appointment on Saturday. To my surprise, he has another ear infection. The kid gives us no signals or warnings... Other than that, everything looks good! He's still only in the tenth percentile in weight, 6th in height, and 72nd in HC- ha ha.
We're still introducing new foods. Every veggie and fruit has been a hit but the minute you give him any texture, he gags and throws up. I tried a baby dinner with bits of pasta in it and he gagged and looked at me like I'd just shot the dog. A bit dramatic if you ask me.
Asa is one of the younger babies in his infant class- most of his classmates have started walking. We think this is motivating Asa to attempt things he's not quite ready for. The result? Bumps on the noggin- lots of them :(
I recently had the flu and was trying to take care of Asa until Tony got home. My mom called and I immediately started crying. I felt so helpless! I felt like I was going to collapse but had to keep up with Asa. All I wanted was to go to bed. My mom's solution? She shipped us a baby 'jail.' I was over the flu by the time it came, but its definitely been nice to have a safe place for him to sit in when I need to get things done. And- it does wonders for our decor. Very chic.
I made the mistake of taking his 9 month pics until after work. Asa is a morning person- not an evening person. I'll do better next month...
