Naked Babies in the Bathtub

Will my kids hate me for this in 10 years? Probably.

Annie at 9 Months



  • Height: 29 3/4 in. (still off the charts in terms of percentile)
  • Weight: 20 lbs. 15 oz., 81st percentile (up from the 51st percentile and 15 lb.s 15 oz. at her 6-month appointment)
  • As a man (or maybe a woman with a trimmed mustache? I'm not really sure...) said to me at the bus stop today, "That's a big ol' baby."
  • Thinks her brother is the funniest and also the most bothersome person (she has a special cry for when he is near)
  • Daddy's girl - she's all smiles whenever he is in the room
  • Scoots (army crawl style) everywhere - usually to find mom and get me to pick her up
  • Crawls a little, but can go up the steps in our living room
  • Pulls to stand
  • Eats more than any baby I've seen - sometimes 4, 4 oz. jars of baby food at a time!
  • Favorite foods: yogurt and sweet potatoes, and lately, anything she can feed herself
  • Can hold her bottle by herself when she feels like it
  • Great sleeper
  • Loves: her pacifier, pulling hair, pat-a-cake, grabbing things
  • Hates: Lucas stealing her pacifier, getting her toes/legs dipped in the water at the ocean, riding in canoes
  • Gets kissed, munched on, cuddled and squeezed constantly by her mom, dad and brother
