9 Month Check Up

Once again I am behind on my blogging.  I keep telling myself that I am going to get better about this since I am making his blog into his baby book.... one day.  Now that he is almost 10 months old I will post about his nine month appointment. LOL  It was nothing special really.  He seems to be coming along like his is supposed to.  He weighed 18.8 pounds, 12 pounds more than when he was born and in the 27%.  Not enough to turn his new seat to forward facing.  Dr. Eastham actually told us that he can stay rear facing till he is two.  He also said that probably isn't reasonable since his feet will be all scrunched up.  But he recommended that we keep him rear facing as long as possible.  I am ready for him to be forward facing so that we can put in his DVD player and he can watch movies to keep him preoccupied in the car!  Oh well, safety first!  He was 27.75 inches long. Putting him in the 20% and 7 inches longer than he was when he was born!  As for head circumference, he is now in the 46%.  Poor thing, he gets that from his daddy.  He gave us the go ahead on brushing his two little teeth which he loves.  Its got to feel good and it's apple banana flavored!  At the end of the office visit was the dreaded shots.  He wasn't supposed to get any this time around but since Flu season is around the corner we got our first set of the Flu shot.  He will get the second part of the series in November when we go back for our 12 month appointment.  All in all we have a happy healthy boy who we love and adore!
