Today was Ian's 9 month check up. Good news - he's still growing. 22 lbs and 29.5" - this kid is almost half my height already! Otherwise, despite his cold, he's doing well. Looks like he's constantly on the verge of crawling, but never has. He will scoot along on his butt or stomach to get places and makes up for his lack of mobility with an incredible reach. He also has started pulling himself up a bit, so we definitely need to drop the crib down. At this rate, he may decide to walk first, like his mom and sister. But he's still the happiest little guy you ever did meet and loves his sister when she's being goofy and playing "upside down baby."
And for Anja's classic moment of the day, over dinner, we were talking about going to preschool tomorrow. We mentioned that there would be a party, but it was for lots of different things, not just Christmas.Me: "They might call it a Christmas party, or a holiday party, or a winter party, or a Kwanzaa party, or a Hanukkah party..."
Anja, at the mention of Hanukkah, immediately puts down her dessert, gets down off her chair, and starts dancing while singing "Conga, conga, conga..."
