9 month check up

Hello. I'm back. Life got to me and I haven't had time to really sit down and blog. I attempted, I really did but I'm back in action.
Yesterday(August 1, 2011) Easton went for his 9 month check up. I swear this kid knows when he will be getting shots because he all the sudden becomes sick so we have to hold off on the shot part. And of course this happened for the 9 month old check up. But they did all the other fun things. He is 29 inches long and weighs 16 lbs. Which means he is in the 75-85% for height and under 4% for weight. But the one thing I love about his doctor is she does not go by the percent tile but by his own chart. Which makes me feel good. I know that I do compare him to other children, wondering if he is too skinny, or is he crawling like the other children, even wondering if his teeth are coming in like the other kids his age. But she re-assured me that he is healthy(well other than having a cold). The doctor gave the okay for Easton to eat all foods that we think he can handle other than milk and full dairy products. Before we went we have tried fresh green beans, whole wheat bread and water in a sippy cup. When we got home from the doctors office I went straight to the freezer made a veggie burger, with whole wheat bread, and a banana. He loves bread, he's like a duck. and any fruit you put in front of him he will eat. The veggie burger he wasn't too sure but he tried some and then left a whole lot on his tray. But oh well, we will try again next week with the burger.
