Dr. Visit

Today I went to the Dr. for my 9-month well visit. Mommy likes the Dr. I saw today, and will be requesting her in the future. I wouldn't say I was particularly brave though. When the Dr. started using her stethoscope on my chest, I FREAKED out. Mommy's not sure why. As she pointed out, this wasn't even the part that hurt. I actually did much better with my shots this time. I got the flu vaccine today (very exciting), and a toe prick for a hemoglobin test - and no, I'm not anemic.

Here's my stats...

23 lbs. (with the cloth diaper on)
29 1/4" long
95% for both - nice and proportional!

The Dr. thought I looked very healthy and is pleased with my development so far. She assured Mommy that I'm not eating too much :)

The only downside, if you want to call it that, is that the Dr. is a little concerned at how much my head grew in proportion to the rest of me since the last visit. SO... I have to go next Tuesday for a head cat-scan...or CT as they write in the biz. The Dr. kept assuring that there was no need to worry - and Mommy believes in the better safe than sorry theory... so Mommy's doing okay with this. However, when I heard I wouldn't be able to eat or drink that morning for 6 hrs before, I started having 2nd thoughts. I don't know about that. I'm already grumpy at 5am... imagine me without food or milk!

We'll all survive though...

Sorry no pictures - this was the first visit that Daddy couldn't go with us, so Mommy had her hands full with important things like not letting me fall off the exam table. I know, details, details.
