9 Month Doctor Appointment

On May 22nd, we took Hudson to his 9 month doctor appointment. They did the usual weight, height and head circumference measurements. We forgot to ask for the percentages...oops. Hudson weighed 18 pounds 7 ounces and was 29 inches long. Our doctor was very happy with Hudson's skin and his progress overall. She had him practice grabbing things and was impressed with how well he was standing and told us he would be walking soon. Our chatterbox was silent the entire appointment, so at the end our doctor finally asked if he can say anything yet. She turned to him and asked him if he can say mama. He immediately repeated mama back to her. Nic and I were so proud and our doctor joked that he is a genius. She said she had never seen a patient do that. Hudson had to get a shot and a blood draw to test for an iron deficiency. He did really well and the test came back all good. I was nervous about it because of Hudson's limited diet and late introduction of solids, but he seems to be doing well, so we were very pleased.
