9 month appointment

Our poor baby has been battling ear infections for 5 weeks now! Courtney took him to the doctor on Friday, October 30th for yet another re-check. We practically live at the doctor's office lately so they decided to go ahead and do his 9 month appointment (Carter was 8 months and 1 week). Fortunately Courtney had the camera with her but she didn't know it was his 9 month appointment until after all the "action" shots (weight, length, and head measurements). Carter weighed 24 pounds 4 ounces which put him in the 96 %. His length was 29.25 inches (89%) and his head is now 44.8 which puts him in the 44%! The funny thing is that we had to take him back to the doctor on Monday (Nov. 2nd) with ear infections... yes, again... and he had gained 6.5 ounces over the weekend! He didn't even eat anything on Sunday but bottles and still gained weight!

Waiting to see Dr. Roberts and Nurse Lou
He was so tired because he missed his naptime.

He didn't even cry when Nurse Lou pricked his finger!
He was very curious about the band-aid!

Carter couldn't keep his hands off Dr. Roberts pink wig!
