Hi Shira
One of the things you got to do in Boston was play in the Frog Pond. That's a shallow wading pool in the Boston Common that's for cooling off in the summer and ice skating in the winter. There is a fountain but you didn't need to go in that to have a good time. The water was just the right depth for you to crawl around and splash it up. You had a pretty good time. You were sleeping while the big kids had their first session in it and you missed out. But when they went on the carousel you got your suit on and went in the water. Then I talked them into going for another swim so you could stay in longer. It wasn't hard to talk them into it.
I promised to say some things about how you've changed in the last few weeks. One thing is that you seem to have grown averse to being in your car seat. Driving back to Boston from Maine was a trial. During your waking hours we had to constantly entertain you. I sat between you and Sidra in the back seat to keep you busy. That wasn't easy for a guy my size. I guess that goes along with your general distaste for any thing confining. You've come to enjoy your freedom since becoming a crawler. You object to almost any type of confinement. You even protest the high chair, at least until your mouth is being stuffed.
Another developing pattern is your attachment to your mom. You seem to be growing into mama's girl. I am not saying you won't show anyone else affection but there are times that others (mostly me) have to keep you from seeing or hearing your mother if we're to keep the peace.
You had a visit to the doctor for your 9 month checkup today. You even got out of getting any shots this time, cause you're all caught up. Your stats are weight: Just a shade under 21 pounds; Head circumference: 45.5cm; Length: 29½ in.
More soon,
Love, aba
