Over Easter, Grandma (my mother) visited. She spoiled Philip, of course, and he (I'm sure) dazzled her with his antics. She also cultivated in him a love of reading books, rather than just chewing them. He particularly enjoys books in which you feel fuzzy things, and a book with a mirror makes him laugh at his reflection and then kiss himself. We like to start the self-absorption early, here at the M. household.
Philip and Grandma reading.(And no, our couch does not actually look like that color. )
For Easter dinner we went to the Pirate's Cove with Grandma and Grandpa M., Uncle Chris, and William. Here is Philip's latest look in headwear (we call him Pirate Philip):
Did you know that babies love straws?
Lastly, me and my baby boy. Yes, I have actually posted a picture of myself on this blog. *Ugh* But, we are delightfully color coordinated! I am modeling what some have referred to as my tight-lipped mother smile.
The 9 month doctor visit: Philip was 25lbs and 29inches. He still has a big head. Good!
More soon.
