9 Month Doctor Appointment

You had your 9 month check up today and now weight 19lbs, 4oz and are 27in long!  I talked to the doctor about your breathing and she said it sounds like you have a little cold but not much can be done for that so we just have to wait it out.

I have been a little sensitive to people always commenting how big you are so I wanted to make sure that we're not overfeeding you. The doctor said you're a little on the short side and you're at the top of the weight range so it makes you seem like a bigger baby.  She said to keep feeding you as we are and we will re-visit the weight issue at 15mo but that you will probably have thinned out by then.  I figure you can't be that big, though, because she said we should also start feeding you breakfast in the morning as well as your bottle so that when you stop the bottles you are used to eating three meals a day.  Mmmm, all kinds of breakfast yummies coming right up!

Daddy has been DYING for you to go to this appointment so we could ask the doctor about you going riding with him on his bike.  The doctor said your neck is strong and your old enough now that that shouldn't be a problem...next stop, Tour de France!

There were no shots this time, just a finger prick for a hemoglobin test to make sure you're not anemic (you're not).  You could've cared less about the finger prick, or the blood coming out, you were more fascinated with the red bandaid you got afterwards!

Overall, she said that you are doing really great!
