Lots of Updates and a Good Laugh

Quinton had his 9 month check up yesterday. He weighed in at approximately 17 pounds putting him in only the 5th percentile for his weight. The doctor really isn't concerned because he has been in the 10-25 percentile for the most part since he was born. He was 28 inches tall. This dropped him from the 95 percentile down to the 50th. The doctor said he was perfectly healthy and developmentally right where he should be!! He also got his first polio vaccine and got blood drawn for an anemia/lead screen.

Quinton now has both of his bottom teeth and is apparantly working on getting a couple more. The first 2 came through with little pain. The one (or ones) coming in now have caused him to be really fussy most of the last week. He finally seems to be back to his normal self today! I love having my smiling, laughing, happy baby back!!

Now for the good laugh. As I was typing this post, Quinton was playing on his quilt on the floor next to me. I looked over and Hamlet had started to lick Quinton's hand and face. Quinton was rolling around on the floor and trying to pet Hamlet which was driving Hamlet crazy. On top of that Quinton had his little toy basketball between his knees as he was rolling around. The funniest part of the whole thing was that Quinton was growling at Hamlet, not the other way around!! I tried to get it on video, but naturally they both stopped before I could get the camera. I have such a sweet, funny little boy!!

It is hard to believe that Quinton turns 9 months old today. Time has gone by so fast! I can't believe that it is almost time to start planning his first birthday. I am so blessed that God chose me to be his mommy!
