All is Well at 8 Months

Adlai had his 8 month check up and all looks good. He’s a small 20% in height and 25% in weight. And he just might be 75% in head size. Hmmm . . .

Again the midwife was pleased with Adlai’s excellent balance. The kid sits up for hours. Maybe not hours, he usually gets bored and flops himself backwards. The midwife was excited about his ability to clap. I’ve never seen someone so happy that a baby could clap (she said it was a 12 month skill). So of course she says “so he’s reached all his other milestones and he’s rolling around and doing some sort of crawl?”

Me: Um . . . Nope, this is all he does. Sits and claps.

Midwife: Oh.

Me: But look how well he can clap!

The kid just doesn’t care. Well, and we’ve been trying to get our house sorted. I haven’t really wanted him moving around because our house is just one big hazard. So really, we haven’t encouraged it. I guess he’s obliged to follow our lead on that one.
