At 9 months he is weighing in at 19 lbs 15 oz which is only the 36th percentile! I would have guessed he weighed a lot more after carrying him around for awhile. He feels like a huge sack of potatoes. :)
He is 29 in tall, which is in the 71st percentile and his head is 47cm, which is in the 89th percentile. We could have easily guessed that he was tall and had a big head, we've known that all along. It's the weight that still floors me!
When Adri was this age (their age is 2 years and 2 weeks different) she weighed in at 20lbs 14 oz (80th), and 29.5 in tall (95th). As for her head measurements, I'm sure they were up there. It was inevitable that both children would be born with big heads, I mean, look at Matt's and mine. :)
When our Pediatrician saw Sammy's helmet for the first time today he laughed and laughed. He said it was the best helmet he's ever seen and he's glad to see that someone going through this process has humor. I'm thinking he would have really liked the other "just fixin my flat" design I was thinking of getting if he liked this one. I plan to take off his current decals tomorrow and switch them with the "Super Man" ones. I think his days are numbered in his helmet and I want to be able to use both sets of decals before his treatment is done.
On a sad note, there is something terribly wrong with my camera so there won't be any new pictures today. I tried to take some pics of the kids so that we could make Valentine's Day cards and my camera won't even focus or take pictures. I had this problem this past summer and Norman Camera gave me new lenses, thinking that was the problem. I'm now thinking it's a problem with the camera body and hope they will just switch that out tomorrow when I go visit them. Thank goodness they have a kiddie coral there. It might keep Adri busy for a couple of minutes before she jumps the fence and they kick us out. :)
Potty training is going about the same. Adri has no problem with number 1 on the potty but is still refusing to even go number 2. How long do I keep trying to force it before I should just let it go and allow her to do it in her own time? I don't want to cause issues...
