9 Months and Growing

Here's a happy boy...

Yesterday we went to the doctor for Benjamin's 9 month checkup. 

Fortunately, nine months = no shots. Unfortunately, flu shot = big needle. He did really well, though.

We were also told to start brushing his teeth. All two of them. I mean, seriously. Come on. If he thinks the booger syringe is the end of the world, what on earth is he going to think when we start irritating his two piddly little teeth with a brush?

He's either going to have a complete meltdown or he'll laugh hysterically. Can't wait to see.

Here are his stats:

Weight - 21lb 3 oz...75th percentile

Height - 29.5 inches...90th percentile (Have you met his Daddy?)

Head - 75th percentile. (That melon he's got now, believe it or not, started out in the 20th percentile. Thank the Lord it grew into his body).

He's healthy and happy, and all is well.
