We went for his nine-month check up today and he was reported in very good health. The stats:
Weight - 21 12/16 (75th percentile)
Length - 29 3/4 (90th percentile)
Head Circ. - 18 3/4 (95 percentile)
He stayed the same percentile from his 6 month check-up, but he's dropped from the 90th for weight to the 75th. The nurse practicioner that we saw (we really like nurse Dena) said that's pretty normal for his weight to drop off a little since he's more active now which makes less interested in eating since he has so much new stuff to see and do. She said it would only be cause for concern if he had dropped all the way to the 50th percentile in between check ups. This would have been his only needle-free visit this year, but we opted to get the flu shot. He has to go back in a month for the second part of it. Apparently under one year old they get the shot in two doses. I'm not a fan of the flu shot for me personally, but I'm not in the high risk group like he is. We also scheduled his next visit, which is his one year. Hard to believe he's coming up on that! That means my niece will be one shortly. I can hardly believe it.
Big football game tonight between Robinson and their rival, Oakton. Both have a lot riding on the game, but with a 7:30 start AND the fact that it's drizzling, we're home. I'm hoping to make at least one game this season for more than 15 minutes. Maybe some of the playoff games will be day games.
