And you are growing up in front of our eyes! Gone are the days when you were just a baby; now you're a little person, with little person likes and dislikes and a big person personality stuck inside a little person!
Speaking of "little," you're not so little any more at all. According to the doctor- whom you visited on Thursday- you are now about 28 inches tall, which puts you in the 50th to 70th percentiles of kids your age.
But, on the other side, despite our best efforts to fatten you up, you now weigh 18 pounds, 2 ounces...which puts you smack dab in the 15th-20th percentiles for weight.
Which means you are still tall and skinny for your age.
But the doctor wasn't worried about you being too skinny, despite those numbers.
Your mom asked if we should try to get you to pack on more pounds and she said "No! He looks fat enough to me!"
So, there you have it! You're a growing, tall, skinny, happy 9 month old boy! And you have two very happy 9-months-on-the-job parents and tons of other family to show for it.
You also have 6 sprouting teeth to show for it too...but you seem less happy about that!
It's so odd that you've now officially been here on earth for as long as you were there in your Mom's tummy.
The time we were expecting you seems so distant, so far away. And you've seemingly been here forever. But, the calendar doesn't lie. You were in for 9 months hard time, and you've been out and growing for the same. From here on out, it's all gravy!
