9m check up

I had my 9m check up with Dr. Victorin today. To our disappointment, my weight still couldn't go beyond 20lbs. Weight/height percentile was announced to be 50%/50%... [SIGH] I bet mom is going to force me to eat more...but it typically won't work on me, unless Dad dances while I eat. He dances pretty well.

As I always allocate my food to my highchair, tee, bib, nose, cheek, and hairs, Mom estimates I'll never hit the 95% percentile again. The featured skin fold on my forearms are slowly disappearing. Isn't it sad?

Attempted murder by Tigger

Tigger is killing me...I almost stop breathing because of him.

The big tub

Dad & Mom took me to Alice EE's beautiful house in Southlake today. Strangely, there was a huge bath tub in the backyard, maybe 1000 times bigger than my tub. Dad said I could swim as I'd been swimming in Mom's tummy for 9 months. Mom & I disagreed and she put me in the sea turtle she bought from Target.

While Mom was busy feeding mosquitoes, Dad helped me to float. I was a bit nervous, but I was such a brave boy that I didn't cry!!! Doggie style wasn't too hard to manage afterall...

Imagining I could swim unassisted, Alice EE put 2 things around my arms, and then Mom insisted to put a Little Mermaid donut around my waist for safety. Well...I could then "float" by myself, but I was about to suffocate by winnie the pooh and little mermaid. Plus, I don't think a boy should wear a little mermaid donut...so I cried and quited swimming.

Food festival week

The past week has been a yummy week, because I've finally decided to eat more solid food WITH A SPOON, just because I'M A BIG BOY NOW! Since big boys don't eat jar food, I insisted NOT to eat any kind of baby food in a jar. Moreover, I'm trying to act more like an adult by drinking less and less milk everyday. It worries my Mom, so she's been diligently preparing fresh food for me. There's great selection of food everyday including oatmeal cereal, sweet potatoes, banana, sweet potatoes, banana, sweet potatoes, banana, sweet potatoes, oatmeal cereal, banana, banana, sweet potatoes, and banana...isn't it great?

P.S. No prune...ever...and ever.
