Andrew at 9 Months

Andrew had his nine month appt this morning with dr. Sacker. He flashed her big smiles and she said what a cute baby he is- but of course we already knew that. He does have another ear infection which she gave antibiotics for. Hopefully that will get rid of it once and for all. He's been tugging on it a bit but it must not hurt as much as the last one because he hasnt been complaining as much

So here are his stats.

29.25 inches tall - 75th %tile
21 lbs 12 oz - 75th %tile
44 cm head circumference can't remember the percentile but it was low like 15th

She held him up on his legs and commented about how strong he is. She said that he may go straight to walking and skip crawling completely. I commented that I thought crawling was an important benchmark and she said that 40% of babies don't crawl. I brought him home this evening and put him up to the couch. He stood there by himself for a few seconds at a time. He loved the new vantage point. We will see. I am still going to encourage him to crawl.
