Nine Months

James had his nine month check-up yesterday. He is now 19 lbs. (30th percentile) and 29 inches long (70th percentile)...but his head is still in the 96th percentile! We think that just means he will be really smart. He loves trying new foods these days and is always starving. We literally cannot feed this boy enough. Some of his favorite new foods are spinach, avocado and blueberries. He likes anything he can pick up with his hands and feed himself. He is at the most fun age and is such a joy, always smiling and giggling and learning so many new things every day.

This is of James trying prunes (which he did not love...) on our Shamblin family vacation to St. John this summer.

Isn't this Vandy bib the cutest thing you ever saw? It was from Elliot's favorite person in the world: Worth Turner.

And sometimes, it's easier to feed him in just his diaper...because he misses his mouth so often these days!
