9 months old today
Today Lachie turned 9 months old, and there is progress aplenty.
Let me dig out that old list of numbers and show you the updated ones.
Seems the website missed the 7 month figures, so they are
Weight: 7215g (up another whopper 1325g)
Length: 65cm (up 2.7cm)
Head Circumference: Not sure
So these are the 9 month figures, (see About Me for the full history)
Weight: 8130g (up 915g)
Length: 70.5cm (up 5.5cm)
Head Circumference: 44cm (up 3cm from 5mths)
Just turn the time back 4 months (5 months old today) and look at what he was at 5 months. From a baby to a real little dude.
The health nurses now say that we should use his birth age when looking at development and progressions measurements, up until now we were using the adjusted age, which would have seen him at 7.5months today. This means he is right on track with any normal kid now. The pediatrician said he had caught up his development months ago, but the more cautious health nurses have waited until this month to give him the all clear.
Almost forgot: Oh and on an important note, Lachie sat up with dad last week (well at least til 1/4 time) to watch the Pies crush the Cats and break their unbeaten streak. Lets hope he’s awake on Saturday so he can see them destroy the Eagles.
