9 Month Check Up and Bath Time Poop

Evan just had his 9 month check up. He now weighs 21 lbs, 6 oz. and is 30 ¼ inches tall. His head? 18.98 inches. In other words, BIG. So, he's a tall skinny baby with a big fat head. But that's okay. That giant brain needs plenty of room to grow!

In comparison to his peers, Evan measures up percentile wise:

Weight 63.75%

Height 95.47%

Head 98.67 %

So Evan is right on track developmentally except for his crawling, but some babies just skip crawling altogether. The phrase, "you gotta crawl before you can walk" may not apply to Evan.

In other news, Evan christened his bathtub last night with a giant liquid poo. I knew it was just a matter of time – the warm water, the relaxation, the perfect sitting position – but I certainly wasn't prepared for it to be so… watery. By the time Evan was done with his bathtub, he needed a shower and Brad and I needed Haz-Mat suits.

And then, of course, after we cleaned up Evan, cleaned his bathtub, and cleaned ourselves, one question remains: what do we do with the toys that were in the tub at the time of the H-Poo-Oh? If I throw them away and this becomes a habitual occurrence, this could get expensive.

Watching Evan in the bath, smiling, squirting the water from his toys, putting his toys in his mouth, drinking his bathwater, the decision to throw them away becomes a no-brainer; kind-of like the decision to stick with the cheap bath toys from now on…
