9 Month Stats

Dawson's 9 month check up with the doctor was last Friday and everything went great! He's a healthy, developing little boy. Here are his stats:
Weight: 19 lbs 4.5 oz (30%)
Height: 28" (40%)
Head: 45 cm (45%)
I really thought he would weigh a lot more! He has went down on the growth charts, at his 6 month check up he was in the 55th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. The doctor said that's normal and babies will go through growth slumps, not to mention with how busy he is crawling around he's getting a lot of exercise. We also get to start introducing more foods to Dawson. It's time to give him three meals a day and to try out meats (pureed or cut very small of course). Dawson has still been an amazing eater and loves all fruits and veggies that we've given him (except applesauce). He really likes bananas and that's one that he can eat in small chunks by himself along with his Cheerios. Recently we also gave him pancakes and rice, both of which he seemed to enjoy. Now our next doctor appointment isn't until Dawson is a year old...seems crazy to think how soon that will be here and how fast time is flying!
