Oliver had his 9 month doctor visit yesterday, so I thought I would post his "stats". He is long (29.5 inches tall; 87th percentile) and lean (20 lbs 5.5 ounces; 48th percentile) and a big old head (47.5 cm; 96th percentile!). So despite his recent bottle strike, he is still growing! He also got his first of 4 flu shots (two for the regular flu and two for swine flu) and his blood tested for anemia. He didn't even cry when he got the shot or the toe stick, and gave the nurse a big grin after! Unfortunately his iron was low, so we need to pump him full of iron rich food for a month and have him re-tested. Lots of meat for this baby! He was so sweet to the doctor - he was completely still while the doctor checked his heart and lungs and looked in his ears. He even let him look in his mouth without biting him! Such a good little patient.
