9 Month Doctor Visit

Hi All,
Drew and Bree had their 9 Month "well baby" visit to the doctor this Wednesday.  All in all, it was a very good appointment.
Drew's head is still a little on the flat side (as you'll see in his head measurement below). But the doctor is not concerned with it and feels it will round itself out as he is off his back and more active now.
Drew and Bree were a little miffed with me, because I told them there would be no shots this time. But, I had forgotten about the flu shots. So two shots were delivered (seasonal and H1N1), and the twins weathered them quite well.
In other news, the doctor said it was time to add meat and dairy items to their diet. We actually could have added meat at 6 months, but we had a different doctor at that visit that failed to inform us of that. Oopsie! Well, I guess a vegetarian diet for a few months isn't the worst thing in the world. But the twins need to learn to eat meat, because we serve lots of it around here! They are to eat three meals a day (other than their bottle of formula), which we have been doing for a while now anyway.

Here are stats from our 9 Month well baby visit.

November 25, 2009 Appointment - one day from 9 months old

Drew Weight: 23 lbs. 9 oz. (Unadjusted percentile = 90%, Adjusted percentile = 95%)

Bree Weight: 19 lbs. 7 oz. (Unadjusted percentile = 70%, Adjusted percentile = 80%)

Drew Height: 28 1/2 inches (Unadjusted percentile = 60%, Adjusted percentile = 75%)

Bree Height: 27 inches (Unadjusted percentile = 30%, Adjusted percentile = 50%)

Drew Head Circumference: 44 cm (Unadjusted percentile = 20%, Adjusted percentile = 25%)

Bree Head Circumference: 44.5 cm (Unadjusted percentile = 70%, Adjusted percentile = 75%)

Still growing away!

It's interesting that they give you adjusted stats...our doctor has never done that. Wonder why? Not that it really matters, I suppose.

Sorry, Drew and Bree, about the shots. No fun. :(

Rowan had a flat spot for awhile, too, but once she started crawling it went away quickly.
