9 Month Doctor Appointment

Henley Ray! You are getting SO big! Here are the highlights of your 9 month appointment:

  • While Dr. Brown was shining the light in your eyes, poking in your ears, and putting the wooden stick in your mouth, you just STARED at him. You didn't cry or make a noise. He commented on how good you were and even wrote "very focused" on your report card.
  • Dr. Brown said you can start eating food that we eat as long as we mash it up for you. How exciting! 
  • No shots this time, but we will need to return in the next few weeks once the flu shots are ready. 
  • Dr. Brown says your eyes are hazel/brown, which is a perfect mix of mommy (brown) and daddy (hazel). 
  • I asked the doctor about naps, because you usually only take one for about 30 minutes a day. He said that as long as you continue your 10-12 hour stretches at night, then fewer naps during the day are okay. You might just require less sleep than other babies. You did NOT get that from your mommy. :)
Here are your stats:
Weight: 18lbs 13oz (60th percentile)
Height: 27.5 inches (40th percentile)
Head: 17.75 inches (80th percentile)
