9 months

Austin was 9 months on Thursday! He had his checkup on Friday and passed with flying colors! His iron level was excellent. He weighed in at 22.01 lbs (75th-90th percentile). His head measured 19 inches...ummmm yes he still has a big head- 95th percentile. And he is 28 inches long (75th percentile).
There weren't any shots, only a finger prick to get some blood to check his iron. He did so well...not even a flinch.
oooohhhh, what is this ?

I better taste it to make sure it's safe!

I think I caught the Dr. by surprise when I took this picture. I love how babies' senses are so alive at this age. Just touching things helps them learn so much. He didn't yank at the stethoscope...just had to feel it.

Oh how I loved the photos! He reminds me so much of Darren with his chunky fingers and chunky little body (way to go with being between 75th and 95th percentile)! I love babies at this age. They're so fun and full of nothing but love.

You've gotta love those big roly poly boys! Aren't they just so hug and kissable??
