Liam and I saw Doctor Hanson today for his nine-month checkup. Our pediatrician is out on maternity leave (had a baby boy!), but we have seen Dr. Hanson several times and like her just as much! Here are the stats!
Weight: 20 lbs., 9 oz.: 50th percentile
Height: 29 3/4 inches: 90th percentile
Head: 45.5 cm: 60th percentile
Overall Liam is growing very well! His weight has dropped down a couple of curves, but that is expected since he is moving and playing more. Dr. Hanson was very pleased with everything Liam is doing. Liam is officially off all his reflux medications, which we have weaned over the past few weeks. He now has the go ahead to add in yogurt, which I am sure he will love! She does want to work a bit on his bowel movements... making them a less firm and a bit softer. Her concern is that continued constipation will lead to larger and larger poos... which we do not want! We are going to try some pear/apple juice and see if that helps. If not, we may need to add in some miralax to Liam's diet to keep things moving!
I will try to get some new pictures and video in the next couple days of Liam obsessing about his tongue and 'talking' with squeals!
