9-month stats:
22 lbs. and 29 inches

Milo is shrinking!! At his recent 9-month check up, he dropped down into the 75 percentile for weight and height. But his noggin’ is still in the 90th percentile.

Milo is going through so many changes these days. He’s crawling and pulling himself up on everything. But even cooler are these spiderman-like, rockclimbing-esque cruising missions that he sets out on around our apartment. He moves from chair to wall to table to bookcase making his rounds – and all the while making this irrepressible motor mouth sound. A very exciting recent skill is the “art of the descent”. Initially when he learned how to pull himself up he required constant “spotting” as he was prone to spontaneous and rapid wipe-outs. But now he can pretty much get down as well as pull himself up.

Solid food experiences (that I’m aware of):
avocado, peas, apple sauce, pear, banana, rice, oatmeal, yogurt, sweet potato, squash soup, mango, black beans

p.s. – Daylight savings and babies sleep schedules don’t mix well.

We just found out that while we thought Milo was taking naps, he was really eating pretzels and watching episodes of The Wire on dvd.
