Three Quarters of a Year Old

Collin turned 9 months on 9/3/08! He received a clean bill of health from his doctor. He is very long for his age (for the parents out there he's in the 97th percentile) and thin (70th percentile). I wonder where he gets that from? The doctor wants us to start eliminating some of his bottles throughout the day and she said we can completly take out his night time bottle. I don't think any of us are ready for that, but we'll start working on it! He doesn't drink very well from a sippy cup for us at home, but of course does it like a champ at daycare.

Collin is crawling all over the place now and getting into lots of trouble. We (Maurice, I should say) childproofed the house, but he still finds plenty to get into. He also has a new fascination with our big fat kitty, Astro. They seek each other out in the house and even though Collin drives him nuts, Astro still loves to be by him. Magnum, our Siamese cat now lives with Collin's Grandma Rita. We miss him, but everyone's better off this way.

Collin is eating pretty much everything these days. He doesn't get a whole lot in the way of baby food anymore. He went through a picky phase, but thankfully that didn't last. His favorite seems to be spaghetti. He's not a huge fan of fruits, but loves vegetables. (He gets that from mom).

Collin is still sleeping through the night, he goes to bed between 730 and 830 and wakes up between 7 and 8 am. He usually takes 2 naps a day, unless he's at daycare, then we are lucky to get one! He's still a super happy kid, it doesn't take much to get him to laugh or smile!
