9 month update

Noah turned 9 months old on Monday. I can't believe how fast time is going, I feel like he was just born yesterday. He is on the move now too.

We had his check-up today, and he's still growing like a weed. He weighed in at 19lbs 2 oz and measured 30 3/4 inches. The pediatrician was pleased with how social and happy Noah is too. They found a heart murmur and are sending us for follow up tests, but I was told it seems pretty innocent. We went for a chest x-ray today, which was horrible for both of us. They put him on a bicycle seat and strap him into a plastic tube like thing with his arms straight up over his head. I just wanted to hold him, I hate hearing him cry or seeing him in any kind of distress. We have an EKG scheduled for Monday morning and they'll send those results down to Johns Hopkins to be read by the pediatric cardiologist. I'm trying not to worry, but I am me, so I'm not doing so well on that aspect.

In good news, his iron levels were really good and the pediatrician isn't concerned that he's not big on table food right now. he said just keep giving him a good variety of fruits and veggies, and he'll transition when he's ready.
