Harrison's 9 month appointment

KD288

I just can not believe how big our LO's are getting so quickly! It just blows my mind. All I keep thinking is I am going to have a toddler in 3 months, where did my baby go? (sniff, sniff)

So yesterday we went to the pedi for his 9 month well baby visit and H is doing great. He weighs just over 21 lbs and is 30 inches tall. He is in the 90th percentil for height. Crazy.

She didn't give me anything to change except we are going to start weaning him off the Nutramigen so he will be strictly GS Gentle before the milk switch. Plus we will be weaning him off the Prevacid. Yay!

I did notice yesterday though that I am not doing a very good job of brushing H's teeth as he has some build up along the gums. Anyone have any recommends? I am still using the baby gum brush, should I try something else?

Wow, still can't get over how much he has grown.

WOW! he HAS grown and that siggie pic is just too cute for words.... he always has such great expressions!  I'm so glad that he's doing so great and the weaning will begin soon, i'm sure he'll be just fine.  I reluctantly tried regular milk the other day and N LOVED it!  I was so relieved....our babies are no longer babies anymore, time just flies by ... much too fast.  (   but we have so much more to look forward to!  )

Awww... H is so big now!   It does go so quickly! *sigh*

And I've been so bad re: tooth brushing. I haven't done it yet.  My pedi didn't say to and I have no idea what to do. I guess I'll ask MY dentist about this at my cleaning next week. I need to start. *blush*

What a big boy! Yay!! : )

No clue about brushing the teeth... geez, I haven't even THOUGHT of any of that! : D

K, I just have to tell you that everytime I see Harrison's new pic in your siggy, I make little pinching motions with my finger/thumb at the pic.  It's like I can't control it.  He is so cute I just want to "get him".  I'll catch myself doing that and be so relieved that no one can see me.  LOL.

Congrats on a good appt!

Awww, thnak you. If it makes you feel better I do that with most of our LO's pics. They are all so, so cute!

OKay, I admit I am insane about the teeth. But I have fairly decent teeth (1 cavity my entire life) and DH has bad teeth, so I want to be sure H takes better care of his teeth then his dad.

I'm the same way. I have pretty good teeth and DH has awesome teeth, but my Dad always had horrible teeth, and now no teeth. I really want DS to have good dental practices. We still don't brush them twice a day, but we brush them after his bath every other night.

What a handsome boy he is - I just love that new picture of him in his tubby!

Yay big boy! And supercute siggy pic

Yay for a great appointment for Harrison!  No advice on the brushing, Margaux is still toothless.

I relate, though.  I've always taken good care of my teeth, but Rom takes his (very pretty) teeth for granted.  I don't want Margaux to have careless dental hygiene!
