Little Man had his 9 month check-up today and it just confirmed what we already knew: we've got a happy, healthy, BIG Little Man.
Weighing in at a little over 27 pounds and 31 inches long, he is fitting comfortably into 2T clothes. He is pushing the 95th percentile for both weight and height. He is crawling at warp speed and climbing everything he can get a leg up on. He will plow over things on the ground--toys, our legs, pillows--and has developed a recent interest in going under things. This makes life interesting, because being the big boy that he is, he often gets stuck.
He is a "people person", and by people I mean adult women and a few select adult men. He doesn't have a whole lot of interest in other babies, but occasionally he approaches a "big kid" on the playground. Especially if that big kid has a ball, the most cherished of baby toys. Little Man has a surprising amount of patience when it comes to waiting for another child to drop a ball and move on to something else, at which point he speed crawls over to it and claims it as his own. He's not one to take another kid's toy, and he doesn't put up much of a fuss if something is taken from him on a playdate. He just gets a really hurt expression on his face, which makes me sad.
Overall he is a happy little chunker, and his parents are happy too--especially because he FINALLY is consistently sleeping through the night.
