Welp, we braved the snowy conditions to head out to Henry's 9-month appointment (we were almost a month late, but hey, we were in the balmy south when he turned 9 months old.) We were surprised to find out that he is 29 inches (59%) and only 18 1/2 pounds (10th percentile for his age, and only 4th percentile for weight for his height!) Adam & I were both big ol' chubby babies, so what gives? The doctor said that he's fine. I think his low weight has something to do with the wiggle worm in him that won't stay still long enough for me to wipe his bottom after a diaper change. The kid must crawl five miles a day. Also, his head is in the 70th percentile but that still can't compare to my nephew's heads (1 in the 99th percentile and 1 off the chart).

SO SO cute! So funny too, I can relate on the changing! Ive resorted to letting him stand while I change his diaper!
He is too cute! I think he looks so much like both you and Adam! Cant wait to see you :) I'm glad your home!!
He's precious and fine!! I obsessed about those percentages on height and weight for tooooo long. Drs always had me thinking I was starving LG(who was 17 pounds at a year). I know you aren't that way and good for him about being active:)!! Before you know it he'll be running around. Time does fly!
Wow- he and Frazier are about the same size! Frazier was 28 in and 18 1/2 lbs at his 6 mos appointment. Well, he's just adorable...and he doesn't look small for his age to me...he looks just right! Jim and Debbie sure enjoyed seeing him-they've been talking about him ever since! :)
What a great picture Henry!
