Another Doctor visit


No worries! This time it was for Samuel's 9 month check up. We are all finally feeling better after having this cold go around the family for 2 weeks. We still have some sniffles and coughs and generally fussiness (mostly just the kids). We are looking forward to resuming our normal activities and schedules soon.


Here are Samuel's latest stats:
Weight: 19lbs 9oz (50%) All that crawling around made him slim down. Now that he's feeling better I'm sure his good appetite will improve along with all the finger foods he is starting to enjoy.

Height: 29 1/4 (75-90%) A tall one!
Head: 18 1/4 (also 75-90%)
Overall a good check-up. Dr. Sheri thinks his ears may still have some infection and after the amoxicillin reaction we were not put on another medication so we will start on Zithromax. This may help with some of the general fussiness that Samuel still has and may explain his lack of nursing too. We are trying to decide if he is done with nursing or its his cold. Time will tell. We also had an xray to check his torticollus and initally this looked fine. The last several weeks have been tough trying to figure on whats going on with Samuel. Of course today at the doctor he was perfect, content, smiling and charming. It makes all my stories about fussy, crying babies seem made up! Oh well I have always said Samuel is my more laid back child but is definately one that likes people around him.

Such a big boy!! I can't believe you are 9 months old... where has the time gone. I love to see you happier and smiling little man.


Amelia giving sam some loving... or tackling him. She was excited to be mommy's helper at the doctor (and she was!) and even packed her own backpack for the trip.
