He's a good eater, no doubt, but I am horribly strict about what he eats - no sugar*, nothing fun at all (though I let him eat as much fruit and veg as he wants, which he loves). Thankfully he is also tall with it (97% height, off the chart for weight), so he's roughly proportional.
If the Mr. has anything to do about it, the kid will play football. If I do, he won't. Not that I am anti-sports: I bought him a BB hoop and have taught him to clap and yell "Basket"** when it goes in.
Trep. Mom - I bought the Lexling a leash yesterday. Well, a harness. He doesn't seem to mind and now I can let him out of the stroller/cart at the store/mall/whatever and not worry about him running riot. The growth really slows down after 9mos and some lose weight. The Lexling weighed 27lbs at 8mos (I think) and only 29.5 at 12mos.
-TL
*I realize eventually I won't be able to control these things, but he's 14mos old right now and I can so I will. Damnit.
**OK, he can't exactly say Basket, but he does say "Bakka!!!" and that's good enough for me.
