He's a Machine

I may have a robot for a baby.  He doesn't seem to need sleep or food to survive.  He continues to take really short naps and they seem to be getting farther apart which makes for the possibility that we only nap twice - no big deal for a 9 month old but not when they are barely over an hour added together.  he plays so hard and so nonstop, I don't know how he doesn't crash for hours at a time.

he is a really slow eater too, and pretty uninterested in food.  I try to feed him often since he doesn't take in very much at all at one setting.  Breakfast is pretty light, second breakfast is just a little fruit,  lunch varies and if we get it timed right, dinner can be substantial.

so what does he like?  baths and water - from the water dispenser in the fridge, sinkwater, showers, cups of water - all fun.  "brushing" his teeth, climbing stairs, climbing anything actually, opening doors, knocking down blocks. laptops, banging his head against the wall, dancing to music, the dog - a lot, throwing things on the floor and me.

i mention this because he is particularly attached to me.  fine playing by himself, as long as he can locate me.  this makes childcare at the gym difficult and my workouts get cut short.  this part is lousy.

we are gearing up for spring and summer and happy the weather is getting better.  we can go walking more now, but he is getting over the stroller and wants to be out of it.

He wore his Virginia jersey for the ACC tournament, but they lost to Duke, oh well.  He was also trying on some shorts, which are a little small, but show off his calf nicely (right Allison)  He also likes to put blocks on his head, hence the pose.  He is really not my kid though,  those skinny legs, sheesh.  maybe the pasty white part though.
