Jimi had his 9 month check up with his pediatrician today. He is now weighing in a 20lb 4oz (40.7 percentile) and is 29 inches long (70th percentile). Jimi only had to get one shot today and he took it like a champ. He only made a whimpering face for about 30 seconds, ate some snacks and was ready to go.
When we got to the doctors office they had me fill out a survey on Jimi's language development, problem solving skills, social development and fine and gross motor skills. Each area had a few different situations listed and I had to rank whether Jimi did the scenario frequently, sometimes or never. The doctor said he 'passed with flying colors'. She also said that he was where he should be developmentally and that he looked great.

In other Jimi news, he is now waving 'hi' (he hasn't really figured out 'bye' yet) to select people, took one try to figure out climbing stairs, plays 'fetch' with Penny, and most recently started clapping his hands. He also turns the page while reading a book. As my Dad pointed out, apparently we don't read as fast as him, as he flips through them pretty fast. It's already a struggle to get him to eat normal solid foods but the doctor said there is no rush. I think he's not a fan of most textures, except crunchy ones. He would eat puffs all day if I let him.
For some crazy reason I let my dad sign me up for the 'Yankee Doodle Dash' 5k in Everett on the Fourth of July. I've only been working out fairly consistently for about two months and most of that has been in the house using workout dvds, so I was a little weary of what to expect. My time was definitely not where it used to be but I did better than I excepted. I fully anticipated on utilizing the 'walk' option of this run/walk but I toughed it out and didn't embarrass myself too much. Now that I've run my first race since high school, I definitely want to start doing more of them. I've even got James convinced to sign up for one in the fall with me.
