We took Bear to the doctor last week for his 9 month wellness checkup and shots. He got only one shot this time, the one for Hepatitis B. I do not remember his height off the top of my head but I do remember it is in the 4th to 6th percentile. His weight actually went down to 16.8 lbs and he was in the 38th percentile at 6 months for weight but now he is the 4th :O. The doctor seemed sorta worried but not really. She said we just need to kinda keep an eye on it. We have a follow up appointment in two weeks to check on him again. He also has a rash all over his legs, it does not seem to be irritating him at all and he has had it since his 6 month doctor visit. This time around the doctor seemed sorta worried. She told us it may be scabies but that does not really make sense because scabies makes you itch like crazy and is also highly contagious, and neither Anthony nor I have the rash. She prescribed us some cream and told us to switch to Dove soap and she plans to check on that in two weeks to see if it got better. If it did not she said she plans to try and treat him for scabies (makes no sense but w.e., hopefully the cream works).
In other news! Bear got two little teeth in! They are the front bottom two and they came in both at the same time on September 25th when he was 8 months and 3 weeks old! I will be sure to post pics as soon as I get some, he moves A LOT and it has been really hard to get a pic of his teeth that is in focus.
He is still eating 8 oz of formula every 3-4 hours and two jars a baby food a day along with baby snacks in between.
He is still in a size three diaper as well. He has outgrown a few 3/6 months outfits now and is starting to grow into more 6-9 months ones. I ordered his Halloween shirt in a size 12 months because that is the smallest size they had, hopefully it fits :O
His temper is getting worst lol. He screams at the top of his lungs ALL.THE.TIME now. If he is happy, sad, mad, w.e. he is always screaming. I do not mean screaming as in crying but rather screaming like a frightened little girl. I think it may be because he just likes the way it sounds?
We went out to eat at Gators Dockside and we ordered him his first meal at a restaurant. It was mashed potatoes. He ate them all up and was happy as a clam! And yea we had to sit outside so we did not disturb anyone with his ear piercing screams while they ate dinner lol.
He is starting to learn more and more how to get into things. Before we could cover stuff up to get him to leave it alone, now he tries to remove the covers and he tries to go around chairs that are blocking things he should not get into as well, where as before he just saw the chair and gave up instantly.
He is sleeping really well these days. He never wakes up in the middle of night anymore like he used to. He goes to sleep between 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM and sleeps until 7:30 AM. He then either takes a bottle and goes back to bed until around 9-10 or on some days he will stay up and then take a bottle at ten and then a nap. He is taking about 2 good long naps a day between 2-4 hours long one in the morning and one in the evening.
He is no longer interested in his toys. Now all he wants to play with is Mommy and Daddy's stuff. His favorites are cords, the Internet boxes, the cell phone, crayons, snack containers, keys and basically anything that is NOT a toy lol.
I have lots of pictures but they are all on my camera SD still, so I will be making a post with them as soon as I find time to upload and edit them.
In the mean time, have a great Thursday! Only one more day to Friday! Woot!
