9 month stats

Ben had his well-child doctor visit today.
He sat still for approximately 10 seconds.
Luckily, we have a pediatrician who's willing to do the exam on the floor.

30 inches long (above the 90th percentile)
20lbs 6oz (somewhere just under the 50th)
And a big noggin.'

String beans anyone?

Also, interesting conversation about his excema.
1. It's not ring worm, even though it's round
2. It may (or may not) be related to some sort of food allergy, even though I haven't been able to track it.
3. It may just be the result of dry skin, even though we lube him up daily

Therefore, doc suggested we consider doing an allergy test - just to see what sort of markers we find. He's seen kids with similar rash tendencies with extreme allergies. And they can test now with blood, not scratches.
I think we'll stay careful with foods until he's a year old and then do the test, just to be sure.
