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.

Baby Update/Benny Update
Hello everybody,
l know it has been a while since I updated this blog. A lot has been going on. The baby is doing fine. We had another ultrasound a few weeks ago and I have a doctor's appointment on Friday the 25th. According to the ultrasound measurements, my due date is anywhere between Feb 17th and Feb 20th. The earlier the better for me but not to early.
Benny has been making great strides over the past month. Just recently we had to get him new shoes for two reasons. The first reason was because his other shoes were actually worn out. The second reason was because he had almost grown out of this size 6 shoes. He is now in 6 1/2 size shoes. He has had a vocabulary explosion over the last few weeks. Words you wouldn't think he knows just rolls of his tongue. He is also pronouncing words a little more clearly. Just the other day, he was riding his bike in the street in front of our house. He looked at me as said "car come" and proceeded to "ride" his bike over to our yard. He can say "please", "thank you", and "you are welcome" correctly on a somewhat more regular basis. "Sorry" is a new word to his vocabulary since he is more involved with other children (at the YMCA).
Not only has his vocabulary increased, but his appetite has as well. The past few days he has been surprising us by the amount of food he eats. At first I wasn't sure if it was just a growth spurt (which I think he had) but his appetite has been increasing a little more every week. Yeah! Hopefully he will get a little more meat on his bones before our cold rainy season starts.
I had mentioned the YMCA. Benny has gym class on Monday and Wednesdays and swim class on Tuesday and Thursday for the next two weeks (until Oct. 2nd). He is very excited about going. Once this session is over, I think I will limit him to just swim class. He favorite thing is jumping into the pool which for him is actually falling into the pool. I want to keep going as long as he is interested.

Benny's Checkup
Benny had his 2 year check up last Friday. He didn't have to get any shots, but he didn't really want the doctor to examine him. He is just a little over 34 inches tall (which is average for his age), but only weighs 24 lbs. We have a tall and skinny kid. The doctor recommended that we cut Benny's juice intake to only 6 oz a day and make sure he gets three "sit down" meals a day. The hardest part has been limiting his juice. He now drinks more milk ( twice a day instead of just for dinner), but only at mealtimes. His appetite hasn't really changed yet, but I am hoping that he will get the idea of being hungry and want to eat more. His next check up is not until he is three, but we will hopefully be seeing the doctor some time in February with the new baby.

Utensils
I recently bought some new utensils for Benny. These are not plastic, but metal like real utensils. He trys his best, but still likes to eat with his fingers. It is funny to watch because the spoon or fork is always in his right hand and he picks up food with his left hand. He has always done it this way. He actually ate that whole bowl of pasta and just a few bites of the veggies. He washed it all down with a cup of milk.
