9 months!


I have a hard time believing that my baby boy is already 9 months old!  He is growing up much faster than I'd like!  Today he had his well baby check-up and is doing very well. He is in the 60% for weight and 75% for height on the Down syndrome growth chart! The Doctor is more than pleased with him and his progress!  The Dr. checked his lungs and he sounds awesome, which means surgery should be able to take place this Thursday for the PDA closure. We are anxious to get that done and over with even though we are very nervous to have him put under for the 3 - 4 hour procedure!
I had to document this moment today with him in a highchair!  I know that seems so silly, but he has been so unstable in highchairs, so we've always fed him in his bouncy seat.  I thought I'd give it a try today while I took Brynn out to lunch.  What do you know.... he sat up nice and strong and loved every minute of it!  Now I have to go high chair shopping!  Don't you just want to squeeze him with loves?!  I sure do!
