9 month well check

Everett had his nine month well check today.
(pardon poor-quality, phone pictures)


Waiting for Doc and shredding paper.

Weight= 21.2 pounds (between 50 & 75 percentile)
Length = 31" inches (above 95th percentile)
and his head circumference was 46 centimeters.

Everetts growth chart

Other things:
I asked Doc about Ev not eating/wanting pureed foods any longer and she said it's perfectly fine. In fact, he can have anything except for honey and whole milk. Of couse, she also recommends that we introduce foods slowly and watch for any allergic reactions that may appear.

She shared latest research; it suggests that avoiding foods such as corn, eggs, yogurt and peanut butter may produce even more allergies later in life. Doc has a set of twin, two year old girls and she fed them everything at nine months old.

We trust Ev's doctor very much, we think she's amazing.



Doc said Everett is perfect. :) We agree, we agree!!
