No photos, because everything I took had a motion blur — he’s always on the move.

Jesse is getting lanky! He’s now 31.5 inches tall, putting him in the 63rd percentile. His weight, at 23 lbs, is 55th percentile. And even better, his head circumference is gaining — at 18 inches, he’s now got a bigger noggin than 20 percent of his cohort.
He also still enjoys eating paper.

I finally decided Jesse was ready to try out the car-shaped carts at Giant. He enjoyed the ride through the story, but, just as when facing me, he always turns around to see where we are going, he kept looking behind him (through the rear window) to make sure I was still there.

Jesse is getting pretty handy with a spoon, but we try to limit his experiments to food that sticks well to upside-down utensils. Here are some yams from Monday night.

(I still remember this cartoon about beans and rice.)

We had a playdate Sunday with Shalom Baby/Growing Jewish Families in Northern Virginia. Jesse had a great time playing with babies younger than he was (easy targets for a toy-stealer) and older kids (he worked hard to imitate them).
A few videos and photos of his antics:

Today’s show was about exercise and nutrition.

Jesse watched, but was unimpressed. Concerts are better.

Jesse dressed as a Yankees fan. Here he is after school (same clothes at the end of the day!).

Jesse is pretty industrious.

After dinner, Jesse just wasn’t ready to sit in the car seat.
