9 Month Check Up

This past week Jake had his 9 month check up appointment with Dr. Radcliff, his pediatrician.  We love her.  Jake did really well, even through his 3 shots.  He was smiling at the nurses within seconds of his injections.  We are blessed to have such a happy, good baby!  I'm already afraid our unborn children will make us pay for such an angelic firstborn.

He's 30 inches long (91st percentile) and weighs 19 lbs 14 oz (33rd percentile).  He's a tall, skinny little guy! Now that he's enjoying more foods and eating what we eat (and lots of it) instead of cheerios, I'm sure he'll fatten up.  I don't look at him and think he's a bag of bones.  But there also aren't any cute baby rolls.  Like every mom, I think he's perfect just how he is.

Jake has been enjoying lots of baths lately and playing with the dog--and the dog's toys.  For so long I have fought him chewing on Kyle's chew toys, but I finally gave that up and decided to just wash them at least weekly and hope for the best.  Jake was finding them and gnawing on them either way.  So far he's been just fine.  Hopefully dog cooties just help him have a stronger immune system in the future.

We love our little man and are so glad he's healthy and strong!
