Timmy's 9 Month Checkup

Well, Timmy had his 9 month checkup last Tuesday. He weighs 17lb 10oz and is 27.5 inches long. He is quite the mover. He is pretty much crawling now. Well, half crawling and half rolling around the floor. That mean that he doesn't stay where you put him anymore. We will have to get the safety gates up soon. Probably after we get back from our vacation.

I had asked the doctor about the fact that Timmy doesn't seem to like baby food. He was actually glad and gave us a short list of what we could not feed Timmy at this time (mainly due to allergies). So far Timmy has tried frozen waffles, cheerios, carrots, apples, bananas, bread, and pancake. He has also tried chicken. He still likes his puffs and mum-mums. Now that the table food has started, I need to concentrate on getting him to take a cup and not his bottle.

On another note, Timmy is the proud owner of two new teeth. He actually let me stick my finger in his mouth to check and his two bottom front teeth have broken through. Yeah! He must be fascinated by his teeth because he is always sticking his tongue out.

More Teeth

Today I when I went to check on how Benny's new teeth are progressing, I noticed that he has two more trying to break through. The other upper molar on the left side and one on the right side on the bottom right next to the teeth he already has. I am kind of glad they are coming in a bunch at a time, but I don't envy him. The poor guy has been a fussy eater, but if it is cold and he can chew it, he is fine. Today he had cantelope, frozen peaches, frozen carrot sticks (I had aready cooked them and then froze them.) and a frozen mini bagel. He likes his frozen waffle in the morning. If anyone is wondering what to get this kid for his first birthday, I would say Teething Toys!
