9 Month Check Up


Yesterday was the twins' 9 month check up. (although they will be 10 months old in 4 days! We are always late) I have always taken pictures at their appts and this time I didn't even think to take my camera out! I did have it in my purse ready to go. Darnit!

STATS;

BRANDON:
Weight - 22 lbs 8 ozs
Length - 28.75 "
HC - 19.5"

FAITH:
Weight - 21 lbs 4 ozs
Length - 28.5"
HC - 18"

They are both doing well. Still a concern with Brandon's head. It has grown in size quite a bit since the last check up. Of course, this was a regular well check up so they can't see inside to monitor the fluid. His next US appt is April 11th. We are very anxious to find out if the fluid is increasing or decreasing. Also, we have an order in to see a Neurologist at the Children's Hospital. I am glad about that. Children's hospitals are excellent and I will feel so much better having a specialist look at Brandon's head. Brandon is still doing VERY WELL developmentally!
He sits up by himself. In fact, he is ALWAYS sitting up. We seldom see the boy lying down. LOL He is starting to pull himself up on things. He has started to crawl properly, but will still default back to the army crawl if he gets tired. And he laughs ALL the time! They both do! They are so happy. Here is the chart showing Brandon's head growth:

A picture is worth a thousand words and that chart looks scarey. I am adding Brandon to my church's prayer request chain. I KNOW he will be okay. Wouldn't it be good if we could see the future? Hmm... maybe not. Good thing we have God to put our trust and hope in. He loves that little baby boy more than we do. That is hard to imagine, huh?
Love you, friend!

I will keep him and you in my prayers. My children all have big heads and my boys grow every time we go to a check up but so far they haven't said anything about that.

Wow they are big! Mine were around 23 lbs at 13 1/2 months. Glad that they are so healthy! Hopefully your next US will come fast! Sounds like they are both happy and healthy. :)
