9-month well check

Joey had his 9-month well check appointment this morning and here are his new stats:

Weight: 22 lbs., 14 oz. (75th-90th percentile)
Length: 29" (75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 47.4 (95th percentile) - our little guy has a big brain!!!

Joey did not have any vaccinations this time, but he did get some blood drawn for a standard anemia test. The lab technician pricked a finger and painstakingly collected each little droplet of blood until he got what he needed. While mommy almost passed out watching, Joey was such a brave little man. He didn't cry at all and at one point even smiled at the lab tech. Joey is my hero!

So, he'll take a needle in the finger over a day at KW? Crazy! That is the only place I have seen him unhappy! - Anna
