9 Month Check Up

Oliver had his 9 month check up on Saturday and passed with flying colors! Nothing like jamming everything in one day! Swim Lessons, 9 month check up and the Mile High Music Festival. He checked in at 20 lbs, 6 oz, which is showing steady gain in the 50th percentile. His head is still LARGE and IN CHARGE at 18 3/4" at the 90th percentile. His height, however, has managed to drop from 70th to 25th percentile. He measured at 27 3/4", only growing about 1/2". I am fully convinced that we didn't get an accurate measurement since he was kicking and crying the whole time she was trying to measure him. I'm not sure why. He is usually a happy clam but for this 30 minutes of our life he wasn't thrilled. The Dr said that this behavior is typical from now until about 18 months for Dr visits. Lucky Us.. Ha, Ha! So, I'm not worried that his growth has stunted, especially since he keeps growing out of his clothes in length. It just proves that he's strong enough to battle his way through the length measurement. Next check up, 12 months. I am willing to be he'll have a miracle growth spurt since we may (or may not) get an accurate length measurement next time around.
