9 month appointment

Today Gavin had his 9month check up. He weighed 20lb 2.5 oz (50%) and was 30 1/8 inches tall (95%). He was a very good patient though he didn't want anyone looking in his ears or listening to his heartbeat. If he could have only figured out how to get ther stethoscope away from the nurse. Gavin smiled and flirted with each person he met. He was not at all impressed with the finger poke to check his iron levels. In fact he cried worse of it than the 4 shots he got the last time. But when he realized he had a band aid on his finger all was forgiven. That band aid made his day! I am so glad we chose Hope Pediatrics. Dr. Bishop answers all my questions even the ones that might seem silly to her. She gave some tips on sleeping, changing a busy boy's diaper without losing my mind, and tips on foods Gavin can now eat. Our next scheduled appointment is at 12 months...12 months I cannot believe that very soon Gavin will be 1 year old. What an amazing time I am having watching my baby boy grow and develop!
