Jones' original 9 month well baby check up was last week but we had to postpone it until this week. Little man ran a fever on and off from Saturday to Saturday so I ended up taking him last Monday to make sure it wasn't anything more than a cold. It wasn't. Just a cold. Leave it to me, first time mom, to demand an RSV test after the flu test came back negative. In my defense, a lot of kids and babies have RSV right now. I needed to make sure. Since he had fever at the doctor's office on Monday and his well baby check up was scheduled for that Tuesday, she asked that we re-schedule for this week.
So here are his 9 month stats taken on Feb. 1:
Weight: 21 lbs. 12 oz - 75%
Height: 28 inches - 60%
Height: 28 inches - 60%
As his doctor put it "We are back on the charts!!!". There for a little while (ahem...when he was 25 lbs. at 7 months...) he was off the charts. The Dr. just put 95% due to lack of options. Sweet chunk of love.
Trey and I laugh - he weighed 18 lbs 4 oz at 4 months. He has leveled out, I suppose!
He is perfectly healthy. Again, praise God! Everyday I am becoming more and more grateful and aware of how blessed we are.
The only minor thing she was concerned about were his feet. She is referring us to a Pediatric Orthopedic in New Orleans due to his feet turning completely out. We knew this was going to be an issue, she just wanted to wait until 9 months to see if would correct itself. I was really upset about this at first - the thought of Jones in a brace for a little while - but at the end of the day, that is his only issue. And it is so minor. Praise God that we have a healthy baby.
Here he is in all his chunky and wild hair glory waiting on the doctor to come in.
(sorry for the bad quality. It was taken on my phone.)
9 months, my man. We can't believe you have gotten so big so fast. I am not ready to let go of my baby, but am loving watching you grow each and everyday. You are the love of our life!

Look at my big boy! So sweet! Kiss his sweet cheeks for me!
He is such a cutie!!!
My sister had to wear foot braces for a little while. It really is no big deal, even though as a mother I completely understand why it is upsetting to you. He is YOUR little man after all. I freaked out when Jackson had to see an eye doctor after his 1 year check up, so I get it! Keep us posted.
He is absolutely precious! I need to see him and ya'll soon! And I had to wear special braces on my feet at night for about a year when I was a baby and I turned out just fine (I think! haha). He is perfect! I love ya'll
