Nine Months

Last Thursday you were 9 months old. Today we went to the doctor for your 9 month well visit and here are your new stats: Weight- 21 lbs 1 oz (50th percentile), Height- 29 inches (75th percentile) You are growing well!

The drops that Dr. Byars gave us last week haven't gotten rid of the infection so we are back on antibiotics and more drops. We have the next three months to wean you from the bottle and we need to start giving you more table food. Overall the visit was good. You didn't get any shots today because you had a fever last night so we will go back in a couple of weeks.

Developmentally you are right on track (except of course for babbling). On Sunday you discovered the stairs for the first time and you had no trouble figuring out how to climb up them. I guess we need to put a gate up now, but it's fun to watch you do new things.

You are in transition from 9 month clothes to 12 month clothes. And with the weather changing we've pulled out some of your new spring clothes. Your clothes no longer look like baby clothes. With T-shirts and shorts and sandals you look like a toddler and not at all like a baby. I can't believe that in 3 short months you will be 1 year old!
