Hunter's 9 month check up

Hunter went to the doctor today for his 9 month check up.

He weighs 17 lbs. 10 oz.............. gaining a mere pound since April. Dr. James says he is healthy and fine, just little. He is in the 10% percentile for his weight and length (27.25") . His head is in the 50% percentile.

He isn't gaining much weight because he is so active at this point in life. He should be walking in the next few months, definitely before his first birthday.

His crankiness the past week is most likely due to a change in schedule. Jerry being gone probably had something to do with it as well. But this is only a theory.

He got his finger pricked. Didn't even flinch. And got a bright yellow bandaid that he was in total awe of.............cracked me up. His blood work came back fine.

He can start the Stage 3 baby foods and/or we can start crushing up table food. He can also start on juice in a sippy cup. We will start making changes when Hunter and I get back from my inservice in Gatlinburg. I am not going to try anything while we are away from home.

We go back in 3 months.........for his 1 year check up!!! It will be here before I know it.

I think that is all.................

Love and Hunter snuggles...........
