Peter went in for his nine month wellchild today and boy is he tall!

Here are his stats:

Weight: 18lb 2 oz./ 10-25th percentile
Height: 29 3/4 inches/ 90-95th percentile
Head: 18 inches/ 50-75th percentile

It was a pretty nutty visit to Dr. Anderson today. Peter, who has been having an on again off again fever, has pneumonia. Dr. Anderson doesn't think it is serious, but prescribed him an antibiotic to clear it up. Peter has been waking up almost 3-4 times a night for the past week, so we are both pretty exhausted. He also hasn't been eating much at all. Dr. Anderson recommended that we let him cry it out, so we can avoid spoiling him while he is sick. He said that he needs to learn that crawling isn't an excuse to disrupt his or my sleep. We also talked about weaning. I can't wait until he starts drinking from a cup!!!
