Dylan had his 9 month checkup yesterday. He only had to get one shot so it was a good visit for him. Dylan officially fell off the weight curve. He weighed 15 lbs 13.8 oz at the doctors. And that was after I had just fed him too. Again, the doctor doesn't seemed concerned at all and he was really great about - i.e. he didn't assume we weren't feeding Dylan enough. He said that he knows that Dylan is growing well because his height and head circumference are increasing. So Dylan is getting the calories, but just burning them really quickly with how active he is. His height is 27 inches (10th percentile) and his head cir. is in the 55th percentile, up from 50 percentile at the last visit.
The doctor continued to say how strong Dylan is and actually seemed amused by him. I really like our doctor. He sees a ton of patients every day and he still makes us feel like ours is special to him. The doctor seemed to think we were feeding him all the right stuff.
