Nine Month Check-Up 10.17.06

Owen is 9 months old today! I can hardly believe how quickly his first year is flying by. He is now completely mobile ~ now even a flight of stairs is an easy feat! (First time: 10.13.06) He's eating many solid foods and all the types of Gerber baby foods, and he's enjoying both breastmilk and formula feedings 4-5 times a day. Sleeping through the night (8 PM to 5 AM) is now the norm (woohoo!), and he takes his two naps a day like a champ.

At his check-up today, his accomplishments soared off the charts! I couldn't have been more happy for him. He also weighed in on track at 20 pounds (45%) and was 28.5 inches tall (60%). His noggin has consistently been on the larger side (47 cm - 90%) (no worries), and he is (quite adorably) still flashing a toothless grin!

The visit did reveal a few concerns: slightly low iron levels (just need to eat high-iron foods and continue iron fortified formula) and two ear infections. Little O is so happy all the time ~ no one had any idea - not his mommy and daddy, grandma and grandpa (who had him all last weekend), or his teacher at Blossom!! What a trooper!

He received his Hep B and flu shot #1 (has to get 2) today, so we'll see how he fares with those on top of the ear infections. Poor little guy.
