Happy St. Patrick's Day! Did you dress yourself or your munchkin in green today? I have to say we didn't. I'm making up for it now by putting Vince in his hip froggy pajamas for bedtime. I managed to capture a shot of him smiling for a second in the rocking chair before he started wailing. Today is a big day for the little green monster as he is 9 months old as well! But when I call him munchkin, boy do I mean munchkin! ....Why you say? Well, Vince had his 9 month medical visit on Friday and the latest stats on his height and weight prove his munchkin-ness! He only grew an inch from his last visit in December... making him 27 inches, and he now weighs 17 lbs 14 oz... only up about 1.5 lbs from December. This puts him in the 12th percentile for both height and weight! Our little munchkin needs some more protein! Vince's Nurse Practitioner reminded us that genetics is starting to take over as well, so we'll see. We won't quite get out the stretching machine yet. We are thankful that he's a healthy and happy little guy. Mike reminded me that he was the shortest boy in his class until around 6th grade, so we're holding out hope. Vince's head on the other hand, is still way too big for his little body. It measured out at 45.4 cm, about the 55th percentile for other kids his age. So he's got a lot of brain in there!
In other news, we are going to have to lower the crib mattress pretty soon as Monkeyman is practicing to break out of it daily. He can't quite get himself up all the way yet, but we don't want to wait until he can.
He was pretty happy when I helped him up
