We went in for Zack's 9 month appointment this week. Here are the basic stats:Weight: 17.8 lbs (11%)
Height: 73 cm/28 in (76%)
Head Cir.: 48 cm (99%)
No one seemed to be really concerned about these numbers, so I'm not either! He's just my adorable little boy! :) They did say he was a little low in iron, but other than that he is doing fine. However, we did get a little bit of bad news. I told the Dr. how he'd been pretty sick for the past few weeks. I thought it was just teething with a little bit of a cold on top. Zack gets a congested nose and a little cough when new teeth are coming, but this has been pretty bad for a few weeks. So the Dr. checked him out and decided that it was more than that. Zack has a sinus infection and a bronchial infection, which called for an antibiotic. I'm just glad I mentioned it to the Dr. We could have walked out of there still thinking he had a simple cold! But he has still managed to stay happy and adorable!Head Cir.: 48 cm (99%)
Well that was Wednesday. Thursday night I started to notice him getting a few eye boogers, more than usual. His eye also looked a little red, which although I worried about a little, just took as result of Mommy wiping out his eyes constantly. But after coming home from work Friday, we discovered it had not gone away, and Zack has, in fact, given himself Pink Eye. Because of his infection, he tends to wipe his nose a bit, and then as babies do, he took that germified hand and rubbed his eye with it, spreading the infection there. I just feel so bad for him! But like I said, for the most part he has still remained happy and always just as cute as ever! With all this sickness, we've been treating Zack to a lot more warm baths, hoping it will help. He loves his baths now, and will stay and play in the tub for quite a long time. He love it and loves to explore the water and push his limits, as most kids do! ;) I just love this little boy!
You can really see his Pink Eye here I think...
He's still just cute and happy as can be! We just need t get him better! He's so fun and willing to laugh and is genuinely a very happy baby, which I am so thankful for such a blessing. We love him and can't wait to continue to watch him grow and to grow right along with him!
