Wilson's 9 month Stats

We had Wilson's 9 month well check this morning, and I'm so thankful for a good report.  Here's his stats:

Weight:  21 lbs., 73%
Length:  28.25 inches, 46%
Head Circumference:  18 inches, 74%

He's growing like a little weed.  He was so happy and giggly at the appointment today.  He must have known there were no immunizations at 9 months.  : )

We talked about him being in his new car seat and that it needs to stay rear facing for a year at least.  We will go as far as we can go 2 years, but I don't know...  He has a little bit of dry skin under his chin so we are going to try some Aquaphor and maybe some hydrocortisone for it.  I'm gonna keep making him eat his veggies and drink his formula.  She said he needs 24-32 ounces a day.  We do that *most* of the time.  And we also got the green light for trying Zyrtec or Benadryl for his little runny nose when he needs it.

I hope he enjoys his 12 month visit just as much.  I'm NOT ok with that being our next appointment.  He's growing up too fast!
