Happy Autumn! Andy had his 9 month well visit with his pediatrician last Wednesday. He had his flu shot and blood draw (to test for lead..something they do when babies turn 9 months). He did not cry at all for his blood draw. The nurse said that was the first time that she had ever experienced a baby not crying for a blood draw. Andy is now 29.5 inches tall (75%ile) and 21 lbs., 13 oz. (75%ile). The doctor said he is very healthy. He is now crawling backwards and forwards (although he prefers to go backwards). Andy loves to stand against objects like his little house, couch, and playpen. This weekend he learned how to sit up when he is on his tummy. He is so much fun! Everyday is a new adventure. This week, we have given him a few "table foods" (early June peas, shredded mozzarella cheese, yogurt puffs, and very small pieces of deli roast beef). He still love his Gerber puffs though!
Welcome to my house!
