Linkinator at 9 months

Our not so little boy has spent more time in the world than in the womb. 

Happy nine month birthday Link!

Taking these photos isn't easy

He passed his 9 month checkup. Link is tracking perfectly on his growth curves.  55% in height and 64% in weight. 

Link tricks: 

2 bottom teeth

3 top teeth have broken through

4th top tooth close behind

Sleeps 8pm-6am

Two naps, 1-2 hours am and 1 hour pm

Sleeps exclusively on his tummy usually with his butt high in the air and head crunched against the crib slats

Drinks 18oz breast milk daily

Breakfast is an enthusiastic oatmeal with bananas

Lunch is homemade purées of meat, veggies, and fruit

Link is on the move! He flies across rooms via his army crawl with his left arm under his body. 

Link thrives on putting anything in his mouth. He doesn't mind things in his ears, but try to get near his stuffy nose and it's game over. 

He's not a fan of direct sunlight in his eyes, but he enjoys a bit of sunbathing. 

Bath time is the best! But link can get fussy after bath time. 

Link doesn't have the attention span to sit through books but we make him do it anyway. 

Dr Robin told us to start feeding Link anything on our plates. She forgot to ask about our diet. 

That's right. Overpriced yuppie cotton candy in worldly flavours and reimagined packaging. We had Cronuts first. 

 Links favorite pass time is banging things together. When super excited his whole body shakes. He is most ticklish on his cheeks during bath time, or his chest and neck during the day. 

He still grunts when falling asleep, especially in the car. 

He doesn't really understand video chat, his only contribution seems to be army crawling to the apple device and hitting buttons until the call is ended. 

He loves beer in any form. 

He seems to have made his own signs for more, feed me faster. 

He can't put enough in his mouth

His max attention span is 3-5 minutes. 

We love our little guy!!
