Gus had his 9 month well-baby check up this morning. Both Josh and I were able to make it. We have switched pediatricians, so this was our second appointment with Dr. Filardi, and she was great. This was the first time Josh had met her, or been to the new office.
Gus weighed in at just under 22 pounds, so he is in the 75th percentile of babies his age. Luckily, he is starting to slim down a little, so he is no longer off the charts! He height was 28 inches, so he is in the 50 percentile for that, which is about where he always is, if not a little shorter. And his head circumference was in the 75th, at 18 1/4 inch. He had always been in the 25th for head size before, so his head is apparently starting to catch up to his body.
Luckily he did not have to have any vaccinations this morning, but he did have the follow-up influenza booster. He also had to have his finger pricked to check for anemia, which we should know the results of in a few days.
He has hit all the milestones he was supposed to have hit. He wasn't sure about all the instruments Dr. Filardi was using on him, but he was a trooper. He is napping now, as the appointment really wore him out.
