9 months already!

Went to Austin's 9 month well baby checkup yesterday. No shots cause we switched doctors to a closer one over here and they didn't have Austin's paperwork. No worries though cause we can get caught up at the next appointment. They are concerned about his cough that has been going on for a few months now and want to get a chest xray done. The doctor cannot hear anything in his lungs and it's been going on before his little cold he's got. He hasn't gained much weight, he only weighs 17 pounds 8 ounces and is 27 1/4 inches long. I think he is eating enough, so he might just be like me. And as always his head is above 50% on the charts. The new doctor is nice and the facility is brand new. Ok just wanted to update the appointment. Have a great day!

Very relieved to hear Austin is "OK"! and I totally misunderstood the weight thing yesterday while talking with Garrett! I'm not used to any one in our family having an "Under Weight" problem! from the photos he looks to be just fine! We need to come squeeze him in person soon to find out for sure!

See I don't think he is underweight... cause the doctors jsut want them to be at least 20 lbs by a year.... so he seems right on to me and he doesn't look underweight..but i am not a doctor :)
