Anyone's LO lose/stop gaining weight around 9-10 months?

Both my LO's were below the 5th percentile at birth (4.5 and 5.1lbs).  They have grown wonderfully and are both now in the 60th percentile (adjusted age, they''d be 75th+).  DD has not gained anything in the last month (we have a home scale and I weigh them each month on their birthdate).  This is despite having a huge appetite increase, taking all her bottles, and eating 3 solid meals.  DS has actually lost several ounces.  Granted, he's been battling late-onset reflux and was vomiting 1-2x a day for a couple weeks.  But, that has stopped with reflux meds and he hasn't thrown up in almost 2 weeks.  His appetite is much improved also. 

I don't know if it's just a fluke?  Or if it's because they are becoming so active at this age?  They've just been such steady growers since birth, so I'm trying not to worry and read too much into it.  I was just stumped when I put them on the scale, despite how much they've been eating lately.

    Mine went through the same thing at 11 months. We attempted to wean off reflux meds, he got sick and learned to walk so he lost a pound in 2 weeks. Thankfully he gained it back the next month but from then on the weight has been slower. A part of it is the age, and that weight gain slows down a lot after 10-12 months and slows even more after 24 months. A few oz in one month wouldn't worry me but if he continues to lose a few oz next month I would put a call into his pedi.

    Ivy actually had a growth slump a little before that -- she only gained one pound between 6 and 9 months, and she was tiny to start with.  The pedi actually scheduled another weigh in for her at 10 1/2 months, and she had gained 2 pounds in 6 weeks!  I think babies just grow in spurts sometimes.

    Luke had the same issue at 10 months exactly. He still hasn't gained a pound or grown more than 1 inch since then. He was tiny to begin with (5lbs 18in) at birth and his dr isn't worried.

    He lost 2 pounds in a matter of weeks last month and we were watching that, but he gained them back once he was feeling better and hasn't lost/gained any since then.

    Are they crawling?  I just had DS1 weighed today and was surprised he only gained a pound in 3 months despite eating a drinking a lot.  The nurse said that babies burn a lot of calories crawling/walking and the weight gain slows around this time.  HTH.

    DS hasn't really gained much at all, as far as I can tell, in the last few months
