Skinny Minnie

Not me. Carter. But I'll get to that in a minute. :)

We had his 9 month appointment yesterday and he got one shot, and then had the standard well visit of weight, height, and head measurements, as well as an overall physical.

He has a cold {ugh... again!} but thankfully his ears and chest look/sound clear! His eyes are all gooey and swollen though, so we have to put eye gel in them 3 times a day. Fighting with a very strong 9 month old while trying to pry his eye open to insert gel is so much fun, let me tell you... {especially at 5:30am.} But it's the look of death that I get from him afterwords that's just the icing on the cake. Poor guy. I just want him to get better.

He was such a good boy in the office. See...
{can you see his right eye swollen? } :(

Here were his stats:
Head: 47 cm {100%}
Weight: 25 pounds {99%+}
Height: 29 inches {90%}

Yep... he has gone down in the charts! Well, he's actually on the charts now ;) He's always been very consistent with his measurements across the board, but everything use to be over 100%. So he's gown down. A little. I was teasing him and calling him skinny minnie b/c he's still at 25 pounds! He was at 25lbs about a month ago, but then got that yucky stomach bug and lost a whole pound. At least he gained it back, which is really good!

My gawd... I still can't believe he's 9 months old. As we were leaving the doctor said "see you at his 1 year visit." OMG. I remember taking him to that doctor when he was 3 days old. And the next time we go there, he will be a year old?? Again... OMG. Where has the time gone??
