I know, I know...Dane's almost 10 months old but the doctor couldn't get him in until now. At Dane's 9 month "well" visit we found out that his growing has finally slowed down a bit (Doc said he could be burning lots of calories because he's motorin' everywhere). His stats this time:weight 21 lbs, 10 oz.....50-75%
(only 1 lb, 10 oz heavier than his 6 month visit)
length 29 inches.........50-75%
He was falling in the 90th percentile for height & weight before so he really has slowed down! Our pediatrician also said that between 9 months and 18 months they are not growing at as fast of a pace as they are the first 9 months of their lives and we'll probably see a drop in his eating between now and a year.
We've had a really rough 6 weeks of sleeping with this one. We know he has eczema but didn't know how bad it was until we took him in this past Monday to check for an ear infection. They gave us an antibiotic for his ear and a cortisteroid cream for his eczema...WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! We've been using the cream since Monday and Dane is once again sleeping through the night! Poor babe was really uncomfortable because of his itchy skin and was waking anywhere from 3 to 6 times per night. Thankfully he is back to his normal little self!
