Taten's 9 month measurements are in.

(Picture at Nascar Qualifing) We went to Taten's 9month Doctor appointment this week. I am not a fan of Doctor appointments because Taten usually doesn't feel well for a couple of days after immunizations. But Taten was all caught up and did not need shots this time around. Taten is 27 3/4 inches Tall, and weighs 18lbs 8 ozs. He has gone from the 50 percentile to the 17th in height and the 62nd percentile to the 26th in weight. (The incredible shrinking child?) His head however remained in the 25th percentile. I was glad there were no shots but the Doctor did a blood screen for anemia ( just a pin prick) the reading was 8.5 when it should have been around 11. So we had to go to the lab for a blood draw. Taten was such a brave little boy He held so still, and only complained a little.

I wonder what that would be like to be all caught up on shots, ha ha! Which reminds me, I need to set up Sadie's 15 month and Ellie's 6 year appointment.

Are you sure the scale wasn't broken? He has got to weigh more than that! Oh, well. He sure is a cutie. Braden asks where Taten is all the time now.
