9 Month Check Up

Thad had his 9 month check up today with Dr. Hoover. He weighed 21 lbs 11 oz and 28 inches long. He had to get 3 shots and a poke on his big toe to check iron levels. He was a trooper though it all and only cried for a second or two!!! The check up went well and Dr. Hoover was excited that Thad has been sleeping in his own bed for the past few months. The only thing we really need to work on more is TUMMY TIME!! We all know how much Thad hates tummy time but we need to work on it and get his muscles stronger. He has had a runny nose for the past week which we think its from his top teeth making there way through. I can see where it looks like 2 or 3 are going to pop through anytime.

The puree baby food is going great! We have tried different fruits and veggies and he seems to love them all. Then again we haven't found a food that he hasn't liked. He is very interested in finger foods and notices when other people are eating. Thad is also getting the synagis shot once a month which will help protect him from RSV. Too many shots!!! He's a tough boy so he can handle it especially if it helps keep him healthy.

My parents came out for the weekend and its been nice having them here. Thad enjoys playing with them and getting the extra attention.
