9 Months Old!

Nine months old? Really?! How did that happen? I can’t believe my little baby boy will be one year old in just 3 months. Next thing you know he’ll be borrowing the car and graduating from high school!

We had his 9 month check up yesterday. He did so great! He smiled and flirted with the nurse who took his stats. He is now 19.5 lbs and 27.75″ putting him in the 40th and 35th percentiles. (They had said his height was 75th last time, but the dr thinks he may have wiggled.) His head is huge like mine, in the 75th percentile. The dr joked that that just meant he was as smart at 5 babies.

He was smiley but wiggly while the dr checked him over. She said he is very healthy and looked great. We waited again, and another nurse came in to give him a shot. She said everyone was saying he is so cute and happy. He cried for about 10 seconds after the shot, but then smiled at her through teary eyes. He didn’t notice his finger prick at all. His iron level was within the normal range.

He is still belly-crawling, but is obsessed with pulling himself up and standing. Not ready for a baby that walks!

I can’t believe it will be Christmas next month! How does one have a Christmas tree with a baby? We need to figure out Thanksgiving too… I’m starting to work on holiday cards. If you are on my list and your address changed, let me know!
