Liam is now nine months old and not so little any more. At the last consultatiebureau (public health office for babies and young kids) visit, he had made great gains – he had been hovering at the bottom of the Dutch growth chart, but he’s now approaching the middle, all we can really hope for since we’re pretty short here. He also finally outweighs our cat Mackenzie, but not by much. As of the 8th, he’s 8.290 kg (18.3 lbs) and 69.5 cm (27.4 in). He’s still ahead of the curve on most developmental milestones. He’s crawling, cruising along the couches and whatever else he can find to hold on to, and we’ve even seen a few brief seconds of unsupported standing. And he’s quite inquisitive and has good motor control. And he’s quite fun to be with. A few pics to mark nine months:
Seeming to say, “And what was it you wanted again?”
Fussing
And happy again.
