9 month Dr's Appointment
posted on 09/25/2008

Jr had his 9 month appointment today he weighs 23 lbs and 11 ozs and is 28 3/4 inches. Well that is what the nurse said but he wasnt as straight as he should so he might actually be 29 inches. The Dr check him and said that Jr's umbilical hernia is getting smaller and he just has a cold no ear infection which is Awesome. Our son is 2 days away from the 9 month mark and thanks to God he has never had an infection in his ears.

We also discussed his left arm and how it still pops and the Dr made a referral to the Child PT to see what we can do to strengthen his arm.

I also told him about spit up issues the last 2 weeks and he said that was normal at this age and that he should out grow it. I even mentioned the peaches and milk product issues again. I was told to keep Jr away from all milk products,peaches,oatmeal,eggs,peanut butter.

He said to continue with the Alimentum formula and the stage 1 and now stage 2 food I am giving him. He also said I can start giving jr meat that is really fine with his veggie. So I going to buy a couple Stage 2 baby food that has the beef with the veggie mixed.

I was also told we will discuss how Jr is at his 1 yr appointment and most likely he will have to go on Soy. An stay on formula longer then average.

As for his development the Dr said Jr is right were he should be, which is Great.Dr also said that Jr's eyes most likely will not be changing colors so we can officially say he has hazel eyes because if they were going to be brown they would have changed over by now and not have any blue in them
