he's just big boned?

So, we took Nolan in for his 11 month weigh in at Public Health (not officially required but we always have bets on how big he is and they have the most accurate measuring devices!)
He is a pretty solid little person- 90th %ile height and 88%ile weight, not correcting for prematurity. Being big is natural, looking at his non small parents- but people keep mistaking him for a older child who can't walk or talk yet! Oh well, whatever. I yam who I yam, as Popeye used to say. Popeye said quite a few not very brilliant things, though, didn't he?

Nolan's favorite food now, BTW, is grilled cheese sandwiches (old cheddar on flax bread with omega three margarine, to be specific, I cut it into finger food sized cubes) which he just hoovers down. I usually make him a baby version of what we are having (like Mexican/cheese sauce pasta, but his version has no shredded beef, jalapenos, chilis, tomatoes and cumin) and it's so DARN cute to have him at the table with us, with him concentrating on eating. Very deliberate pincer grip- ambidexterous still, but maybe favoring the right a tad. He also tends to rub his food on his head. I'm sure that is why his hair is in such great moisturized condition.

GTG- it is time to put him to bed (he was just "reading" Goodnight Moon back to Mike- he babbles in a slow, measured singsong and turns pages back and forth- VERY sweet.)
