Nine Month Check Up

I can't believe baby Zog is nine months old already! Hmm..doesn't that mean I'm supposed to have lost all my baby weight? Nine months up, nine months down or something like that...

Well, on to a better topic, here are the stats from the pediatrician visit this morning:

Weight: 23.5 lbs (87%)
Height: 31.5 inches (off the chart)

Basically, it seems our sweet boy has had a growth spurt and it starting to be tall and skinnyish. His weight gain is leveling off - of course, he's still not exactly "light." I'm sure he's burning a lot of calories with the constant crawling, climbing, dancing and general moving he does. The doctor was surprised by his length. It looks like we could have a very tall boy on our hands. Only time will tell.

In general, he's healthy, developing well, and exceptionally smart. Well, maybe the doctor didn't say anything about his smarts...I can't recall. :) She did say we were doing a great job raising him and to keep doing what we are doing. That was nice to hear.
