9 month appointment

John had his 9 month appointment yesterday. He got a clean bill of health.

The Dr. wants us to really start using a sippy cup more and more - so I am going to Target today to pick up a couple different kinds, as the ones he has he just plays with like a toy.

We also are going for a blood test later today to see if he is anemic. If he is not, then the Dr. wants us to start him on whole milk at night! Exciting stuff.

I am putting a summary of his stats over the last 9 months below:
9 months
Weight 20 lbs & 11 oz (47%)
Height 30'' (91%)
Head 18'' (58%)

6 month
Weight 17 lbs & 15.5 oz (57%)
Height 27.5'' (82%)
Head 17.5'' (68%)

4 month
Weight 15 lbs & 13 oz (66%)
Height 25.5'' (68%)
Head 17'' (72%)

2 month
Weight 12 lbs & 4 oz (64%)
Height 23.5'' (69%)
Head 15.75'' (51%)

Day 1
Weight 6 lbs and 13.5 oz
Height 20.5''


I am planning to do a blog entry later tonight (maybe tomorrow morning) about his non statistical development over the past 9 months. I want to do a better job of documenting his milestones. To be continued....

Glad to hear all is well. Grow so quickly don't they? The wonderful world of milk and sippy cups is big fun!
