We turned 9 months on 10/20 but had our well visit today. It went great! Our super eater, Amaya, officially outweighs both of her brothers. Here are their stats on the full term charts.

Steven – 3lbs 9oz at birth
Weight: 17lbs 7oz (12th percentile, up from 4th percentile at 6 months)
Height: 27 3/4″ long (21st percentile, down from 22nd percentile at 6 months but I’ll call it a wash)

Sammy – 3lbs 14oz at birth
Weight: 18lbs 4oz (23rd percentile, up from 14th percentile at 6 months)
Height: 29 1/2″ (87th percentile, same as 6 months)

Amaya – 3lbs 14oz at birth
Weight: 18lbs 12oz (58th percentile, up from 34th percentile at 6 months)
Height: 28 1/2″ (78th percentile, up from 65th percentile at 6 months)

They only had the Hep B vaccine this visit. I am eagerly awaiting their MMR at 12 months. Developmentally, they’re still a bit behind average for 9 months but we knew that and it’s nothing to worry about. We can start weaning the boys off Neosure and onto regular infant formula. Whoo hoo! In celebration, today we’re trying chicken. Yay babies!

Also of note, Sammy is only a 1/2 inch from the height max on our infant carrier/car seat so it’s officially time to change over to the convertibles. Yikes! I’m excited but not looking forward to installing SIX car seats!

Here we are arriving at the dr in our pjs.

We had to adjust our schedule a bit so morning bottles were at the pediatrician’s office with Megan doing more than her share while my back is still not at 100%.

And back at home after a busy, busy morning!

We had a lazy “stay in PJs” day today!

Steven came to visit me while I worked and got a bonus visit with Big Sister Cat Sally.

And then we tried chicken! Yay! Meat! Everyone did really well with it. I just cooked up some chicken strips in the nu-wave oven without any seasoning. Steven wasn’t sure at first but Amaya and Sammy dove right in. Sammy ate so much, in fact, that he had a big ol’ spit up in his bib and on his tray and on the floor. And, eventually, Steven got it, too. It’s so exciting to think about everything they’ll be able to eat now that they’re eating meat and eggs. It’s time to fire up Chef Daddy’s omelette station!

9 months old and we couldn’t ask for more!
