9 months!

He’s been with us for almost as long as I was carrying him!

How time flies!  I haven’t posted in ages and I’m only doing so now for my faithful reader Ang

Some accomplishments include:

• fully capable of crawling (with some spills here and there) but he’s only interested in crawling to get to stability so he can climb up to a standing position (couch, ottoman, friendly visitor).
• a great eater: LOVES Chicken congee, rice, bananas, mangoes and blueberries but will also eat peas, spinach (oops, high in nitrates should wait til a little later), yogurt
• babbling lots and always likes to interrupt your conversations
• he’s onto his 4th tooth: the bottom 2 have come out entirely, the top left is almost fully emerged and the top right is following closely

Now since he’s such a great eater (can easily polish off a adult size rice bowl (smaller than say a pasta bowl) full of congee) I’ve decided to invest in a better high chair equipped with a tray to satisfy his interest in playing with food.  Not to mention, catch the juices of the watermelon he happily loves to squish.

Currently we have this at our condo:

At my parents’ house we have this:

Now I’m looking at either this Phil & Ted’s Me Too chair for $49.99 (only @ Moms to Be and More…its $59.99 everywhere else):

or this Stokke Tripp Trapp for $319 in Canada, $249 at Target, and $179 euros in Italy (hmph!):

Hrm….
