SO big.

Today was Emery's 9 month check up. Current stats:

Length: 30.5" (97%)
Weight: 23 lbs. 14 oz. (90%)
Head Circumference: 47.5 cm. (off the charts)

Everything looks great for our little boy-- he's growing like a weed! When we had a check up right before our Seattle trip to make sure it was ok for him to fly with his cold, he weighed 24 lbs. 15 oz., so he's lost a pound in the last two weeks. Dr. Whiting said that's normal, given his teething, activity rate, and move towards solid food.

He had a hepatitis booster shot and didn't cry, which made it a lot easier for his mom. He also had his iron tested and is right where he should be for that, as well. It was a painless and fast visit-- we're getting good at this! Next visit is in three months, when he turns 1! Hard to believe we're getting close to his birthday. I'm cherishing each day with my baby, because he won't be one for much longer...
