Happy 9 Month Birthday, Sweet Boy

Joey's nine-month birthday was marked with his doctor appointment.  One of the many reasons we love Dr. Megremis - if you show up at 9am for your 1pm appointment, they'll work you in anyway!!  At nine months, Joey weighs 18 pounds 1.5 oz (14%), measures 28 ¾ (68%).  His head circumference (which I'm not too concerned with) is 45 ¾ cm (64%).  The doctor was pleased with all of his milestones, and everything looked great.  Earlier we had been slightly concerned about a slight bowing in his legs, but now that he is standing & moving, the doctor is pleased with how he's grown out of that. His ears look clear, and he has the go-ahead to eat whatever we eat, within reason.

It's official - nine months goes much faster when the baby is outside of my body.  The time has flown, and we are very blessed to have Joseph Pierce in our lives!
