OK, so just to say something:
The Trepidation Kid has discovered the joys of blowing raspberries with a mouth full of mush. He comes somewhat late to this knowledge, but we've been trying to avoid encouraging excessive messiness. Unfortunately, now that he does it his father and I can't stop laughing. He is destroying my rugs. He is about to walk (he's taking his time, though: for 2 months he's cruised all over the place, pushed furniture around as makeshift walkers, and now he loves walking around while you hold his hands), and once he does he will be a mobile food-spitting machine and move on to destroy my curtains and beding as well. Oh, and everything inside any drawers he can find. Hurrah!
However, he has a new favorite toy: a green plastic plant hanger.
I also bought him a kilt! Yea! I just need to convince Trepidation Dad to wear his out at the same time, so no one will think he's a girl.
Question: at what point do you stop measuring a kid's height lying down and measure him standing up? He's still is a bit of a monster - we had brunch the other day next to a girl who was reportedly 2, and the Trepidation Kid looked like he could eat her for breakfast (if only he could figure out how the spoon goes in the mouth) - but I was trying to figure out how much of a monster. He weighs in at 25.5 pounds, but his standing height is 28 1/2, which is more than 40 percentiles away from his weight. He looks quite slim, so unless he's got a lead foot I'm pretty sure something's out of wack. (Besides, you try getting a not-quite-10-month-old to stand still with his feet together while mommy gets the tape measure.) Lying down he was 30 inches, which seemed to make more sense.
