Borne - 9 month checkup

This morning we went in for Borne's 9 month checkup.  I still can't believe it's already 9 months old.  I've had over a week to come to this realization but it's still hard.  Time has gone really fast and he has changed SO much.

Here are his stats:
Height: 28 5/8" - 56%
Weight: 18lbs 12oz - 19%
Head: 18 1/4" - 75%

So as you can see he's a little taller than average, his head is bigger than average and his weight is pretty low.  I was looking through all of his well checks and at his 2 week he weighted 8lbs 7oz.  So in the last 8 1/2 months he's only gained 10lbs - kind of crazy.  He's doing things a little differently than Ian.

The nurse immediately looked at me and said "He's a mover - huh."  Exactly!!  Normally after they turn one they start loosing some of that baby fat but not Borne he's never really gotten it.



I have to say Borne is so much fun right now.  He moves all over the house and loves it when you chase him.  He starts crawling faster and giggles - it's the cutest thing ever.

He loves to get down on the floor and crawl all over you and almost wrestle around.  Ian loves this and I know Ian will enjoy this even more as Borne gets older and stronger. One of these days Borne will give Ian a run for his money!

He has four BIG teeth and he has a 5th popping through as we speak.  They are the cutest things ever!

Borne has not been feeling very good yesterday and today.  He has a little fever and just not a super happy camper.  As sad as it makes me to see him uncomfortable I had a little smile on my face last night when he cuddled with me.  He has never been a cuddler so to have him sit on my lap and lay his head on my shoulder for just a few minutes makes me happy.  I'm sure by tonight he'll be feeling better and won't get near my shoulder but I'm glad I got that little time in while he's been under the weather.
