9 month checkup

We took Alex to see Dr. Agolia on Friday for his 9 month checkup. Anybody want to guess where he falls on the charts this month? Go ahead, take a guess. I'll wait.

Hope you aimed high. He is now weighing in at 25lb, 9oz (100th percentile) and is 30.25" tall (100th percentile). He is STILL off the charts in everything but head circumference, and in that category he is in the 99.8th percentile. Hahahah! Yay for a small(ish) head that puts us on the charts in at least one category!!!

We are going to have to take out a 2nd mortgage to feed this kid when he's a teenager, I swear. Over the weekend, that dude ate an entire packet of oatmeal, a whole piece of toast, and some yogurt melts for breakfast one day. I told the doc that sometimes I worry that we're overfeeding him, but he was like "No, no, no. Kids eat what they need and they will stop when they are full. If he's still wanting food, keep feeding him. They don't learn to overeat until much later." Allllllllllllllrighty then. Guess we're destined to have a chunker 4 life.

It's getting harder and harder to take a decent pic of this guy, so I apologize for the following not-so-great pics. Those were the best I could get.
