9 Month Check Up

This morning Jackson went for his nine month check up. He received a clean bill of health!!! He weights 17 lbs and 14 oz and it 27 1/2 inches long. He hasn't really gained any weight from his 6 month check. The doctor is not to worry about it because he is moving and burning off more calories now. However, we do have to take him back in 6 weeks to ensure he is gaining weight. The doctor also gave me the go ahead that I can switch Jackson to whole milk at 11 months when I run out of frozen breast milk. I'm so happy!!! That means Jackson pretty much has been breastfed exclusively with the exception of a little bit of formula here and there. Doctor also said that Jackson is right where he should be for development. She was pretty happy to hear that he is pretty much on table food. I've been holding back a little on the table food, but she said if he wants it give it to him. We just can't give him the typical no-nos of eggs, peanut butter, honey, and seafood.

Note to Grandpa John - Doctor told me to light up and let you take your grandson for ice cream!!!! Next time you come to WI, yes, you may take Jackson for ice cream!
