Cody has his 9 month check-up on the 14th of June. He weighed in at a whopping 14 lbs. 14 oz. and was 28 in. His head measured at 17 3/4 in. He is still not on the chart yet for weight for a breastfed baby, but he is getting close. The Dr. is pleased with his progress with weight gain, and said to keep up the good work! He is 50% for both height and head.
Cody loves to walk, and the Dr. noticed. He thinks that Cody will walk within the next couple of months, if not before. Dr. Grills also noticed how happy my sweet baby boy is...I mean, we get asked almost every time we go out by strangers if he is always 'that happy', because he smiles ALL the time...at everyone! (no stranger danger here!) Yes, he is always this happy!! :) Dr. called him Mr. Personality. I love it! I love that people notice that...he is just so sweet!
We are cleared to give dairy (with the exception of milk...which we'll start a bit at 11 months) and continue what we're doing. Cody is doing so well with his solids, that he has been pretty much just eating what we eat, not pureed, for the past 4-5 days! He has had meatloaf, whole peas, potatoes, cut up green beans, cottage cheese, yogurt, and a bit more. I love being able to just give him what we're having and letting him 'gum' it up. He's great at chewing! It makes it so much easier! It just reinforces what I've thought all along. Waiting until 6 months to give him solids when he is really ready, and we can move right along with getting him to eat table food.
I am just so pleased with how well his 9 month visit went, and am even happier that the Dr. was happy with his weight and we don't have to change a thing. We just have a VERY active, lean baby. Not a thing wrong with that!
