Jaxon 9 month dr. appt.

Lucky kid is all caught up on his shots and didn't have to get a one today!
Today was Jaxon's 9 month well visit to the docs office and his stranger anxiouty mixed with recognition of where he was definitely showed. The minute the nurse walked into the room he turned and buried his face in my chest and whined. Poor little bugga!

Here are his stats:
Weight: 18lb 12oz (21.84%) We need to fatten this kid up!!
Length: 2' 5" (73.7 cm) (76.44%) Tall like his daddy!
Head: 44.79% of growth percentile based on head circumference-for-age. They didn't give me an actual measurement.

Over-the-counter medicines:
Acetaminophen dose (Tylenol):
Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) dose: Please see approved dosing tables or confirm dose with you clinic.

Foods:
He is now allowed to eat whatever we are eating with the exception of HONEY, PEANUT(S) BUTTER, & SEAFOOD.
It's a good think too cause he is sick of his baby food! Loves to feed himself! Not using utensils yet but fingers everything!

Tooth count: ZERO
He is cutting 4 I think. 2 on top, and 2 on bottom. Poor kid is in a little bit of pain.

Development:
He tested great in all areas of his development test. It is so fun to watch them grow and learn. You can just see the wheels turning and the problem solving to materialize! So fun!

Goals:
I am going to start letting him figure out spoons. This should be messy fun!
We got out the walker, he is crawling after Hudson so much. It's so awesome to watch them play together. I bet he will walk before Hudson did for this reason.
Teach more interactive skills. Play more games with him like peek-a-boo, wave good bye, pat-a-cake, etc.

Next Dr. appt: 1 year
