9 Month Check Up
It may sound impossible--but my baby boy is still shy of the 20 pound marker.
I know, I couldn't believe it either!
In fact he is in the 50th percentile for height and weight, which is down from his six month check up when he was in the 75th percentile in weight, and 50th in height. The doctor says it is likely because he is moving around more and burning off more calories. Which, I believe, since he is ALWAYS hungry! I seriously can't seem to feed him enough.
He was supposed to get a "free" visit today. Well, free from shots. But, since they had both the seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines, I opted for him to receive them. There is one less worry on my plate.
So, he is healthy and still blonde and cute. The pediatrician say though that in her experience babies with this particular color of blond almost always get darker and darker hair. As for the cute, he tried just about everything to get her attention, and when she finally looked up from her paperwork, she declared him the cutest baby she had seen today. The fact that his appointment was at 10am, and they open at 9 had absolutely NOTHING to do with it :)
So, my apparently not-so-chunky monkey came in at 19 pounds, 5 ounces and 28.5 inches tall. And, he is none worse the wear for his day at the doctor's office.
