Sam's 9 Months stats

Sam had a very successful 9 month appointment with Dr. Erin.  He is growing like a weed and really showing his personality.  He was laughing, crawling, drooling, and so happy. 

Height: 2' 4" (33%ile)
Weight: 17lb (10%ile)
Head: 18" (66%ile)

This was the first time that both Tim and I underestimated his (or Abby's) weight!  He checked out well and we got clearance to start introducing cow's milk and water during meals.  Let's go sippy cups! Iron is the critical component in breast milk, so we need to continue to add iron to his diet. Cereal, veggies, etc.   We'll begin transitioning to cow's milk fully between 10 and 11 months, with a goal of fully transitioned at 12 months. Which means only 1-2 more months of pumping!  YAY!
