Edward sailed through his nine-month appointment today. He kind of got a raw deal though because this was supposed to be a no shots appointment, but it's the time of year for flu shots so he had one of those. And has to go back in a month for the second round. Poor guy.

But he's happy, healthy and staying right on the growth track they expect. He weighs about 20 1/4 pounds and is 27 2/3 inches long. That's the 38th and 21st percentile, respectively. Then, there's his head--18.11 inches, 63rd percentile. What a melon! Big heads seem to run in both families though so I guess it should be no surprise. Lots of room for that developing brain!

The 2:15 appointment time meant his nap was delayed by more than an hour, but I think he was distracted enough by the whole experience that it didn't affect him too much. He went right to sleep as soon as we got home. We may have to wake him for dinner or else face a late night. Maybe if he stays up late there might be some pictures to post later.
