Lucas had his 9 month appointment this week. Here are his stats: 20lbs 10oz & 30 1/2 inches long. I forget his head size but it was in the 50% range of his age. The other 2 stats are also 50% and 97% in range.
The doctor said we could start giving him Vitamin D milk more in between formula bottles. He is only taking 2 bottles now as it is so it wont be hard to wean him off of the formula. I gave him a Vitamin D bottle last night and he did well. So we will see how this goes. I am keeping an extra pack of formula just in case he has issues :) lets hope he doesnt!
We also asked about his eye. Danny & I noticed that it may have been a bit on the "lazy" side. We werent for sure, so Danny asked the doc and the doc wasnt too worried about it. Said that it could still be some swelling that a fall Lucas had earlier in the month. We will keep close eye on it and check it in a few weeks to see if its still the swelling thas making it seem to be lazy or if he has to get his eyes checked. Prayers!
We also are starting to give him more and more table foods. He loves them. It gets harder to eat in front of him every day so we just give him what we can until the doc okay's it. Well, they did ha. Right now hes eating 3 jars of baby food and 2 formula bottles with some apple juice in between here and there if he gets thirsty. Most of the time he is too busy playing to even be hungry. He loves to play! Lucas has been very consistent with his sleeping pattern. He goes down every night between 7-9 and sleeps well until I wake him up at 6am to feed him and spend time with him before I head off to work. If i didnt wake him up, I am sure he would sleep until 7 or 8. I need that mommy time in the mornings, starts my day off just right :)
