Here are some classic highchair shots I couldn't resist of Nickolas. He's been using this highchair now for about six weeks. Of course, this particular meal was a messy variety of garden vegetables that he wasn't wild about. Sometimes we wonder if any gets into his mouth, but for the most part, he takes each spoonful well. He does enjoy oatmeal and most fruits, pureed chicken and turkey, green beans, squash, and sweet potatoes. My general rule is that if it grosses me out, why force it on him as long as he's still getting what wee ones need? Before we know it, he'll be eating hot dogs and pizza and baloney sandwiches.
Also, on Sunday, Nickolas turned 9 months old! His next pediatrician appointment is in one week, so we're curious to see what his measurements are. He's certainly grown since his last weigh-in by Godmother Amy. On Saturday, we took a nice walk in Old Town Alexandria and all of the trees were lit with white lights up and down the main street. At first, we rushed to get our walk in before it got dark and colder, but it turned to be quite enjoyable with the lights and we knew Nickolas was warm in his down outfit. I think we have a future cold weather snow bunny on our hands like his mom!
