9 Month Appt.

Gabe is starting to even out with his height. He is now 29 inches, but still tall for his age, in the 70th percentile (for the longest time he was in the 90's). He is in the 15th percentile in weight at 18.5 pounds, so he is on the leaner side. I read that exclusively breastfeed babies are usually on the leaner side, but that is certainly not the case for all breastfed babies. G might just have lean genes!

He had no shots this time. Since he isn't in daycare and is breastfed, we're not getting all the shots the AAP recommends. They have a lot more shots than they were when Craig and I were babies. And the AAP schedule calls for sometimes several shots at once, yikes. Right now, he is getting DTaP and HIB. He is not due for another shot until about 15 months.

Wow I would have no idea what it would be like to have a kid that high in the % - Levi has been in the 10th most his life ;) Sounds like he is doing well.
