9-Month Check-Up

Sean Patrick had his 9-month check-up today and it's the easiest appointment yet...no shots! SP still loved the paper on the check-up table but this time he was mobile so pretty much all over the place, he would have crawled right off the ends of the table if he could.

His stats for this appointment: 23lbs. 11oz and 29 inches. He's still above average for his age (obviously since he's wearing 18-month clothes!) but starting to norm out per the growth chart the doctor showed us. He was cleared to eat anything except eggs, milk, peanut butter and honey (we have to wait at least one year for that stuff).

Although we had no shots, Sean Patrick did get a blood test for his iron level (normal). He also had a TB test that we had to come back to the office to get evaluated by the nurse (also normal). So SP left the office with two band-aids - his first!
