Baby Bucket Head





Hooray, it's bath time!

I have neglected to post this for a really long time, but Harry loves bath time! We started to bathe him in the regular tub when we moved to our new house, and it has been one of his favorite activities since! It is so cute...he gets so excited for the bath to be ready, he stands by the side of the tub and squeals until it is time to get in. He even lifts his legs up like he is trying to step in. We had the most hilarious bath experience last night. I had the hiccups and everytime I would hiccup, he would just crack up. Then I would laugh, hiccup again, and the cycle just kept going on and on. I was a lot of fun. He cracks me up on a daily basis so I was glad to return the favor!

We had his 9 month check up today and as usual, everything was great! He didn't need any shots today, but he had to have his heel pricked to make sure his hemoglobin is within range. He cried a little but not too much. Dr. Freeman said he was perfect! Here are the stats:
  • Weight: 20 lbs 7 oz (60th percentile)
  • Length: 29 1/4 inches (90th percentile)
  • Head: 46 1/2 cm (75th percentile)

He stayed in the exact same percentile range for length and height, but his weight fell some percentiles once again. She thought it was perfectly fine considering he eats well and lord knows my boy is active! She also gave the okay for more table food, anything except peanuts, egg whites and honey. So, we stopped and got him a Happy Meal on the way home. Just kidding, he wishes!! We are once again soooo thankful that we have such a happy, healthy baby boy!

We got some sad news in our family this week. My Uncle Johnny (my dad's brother) passed away on Wednesday morning. It was somewhat unexpected. He was on the waiting list for a liver transplant so we knew he was very ill, but Tuesday evening he rapidly declined and eventually passed away a few hours later. Please keep my dad and his family (especially my almost 95 year old Granny!) in your thoughts and prayers.

On a lighter note, we hope everyone enjoys the big game this weekend and roots on our Colts to a victory! Have fun and be safe!
