Calin had his 9 month checkup this morning.
Here are his stats compared to his 6 month checkup

9 Months: 19 lbs - 24th percentile
6 months: 17 lbs - 40th percentile
increase of 2 lbs and down 16%
Hight
9 months: 27.8" 30th percentile
9 months: 27.8" 30th percentile
6 months: 27" - 70th percentile
increase of 3/4" and down 40%
(I'm still pretty certain they measured him wrong at his 6 month check up)
Head Circumference
9 months: 17.5" - 25th percentile
6 months: 16.8" - 18th percentile
increase of .7" and up 7%
increase of .7" and up 7%
I think it's funny that Calin's only in the 24th percentile for weight considering how often I hear "he's so chubby!" He's no michelin man, but he sure does have some meat on those bones. Maybe it's his lack of neck that makes him look chubbier?
The doctor said not to worry about him refusing solids just yet. As long as I keep trying then it's ok. The past couple days I've been mixing his applesauce (just about the only thing he'll eat) with green beans, and he's actually been eating it! Gross right?! Who would think applesauce and green beans would taste better than just plain green beans?

Who would have thought those cheeks were only in the 24th percentile.
Greenbeans and Applesauce does sound gross but babies have different taste buds then grown ups do, maybe it tastes like heaven to him haha. Who knows!
Kelly and I went back and looked at Tanner at that age and he looked chubbier than Calin. At least that noggin is growing :) Sounds like I'm going to have to try this amazing dish...sometime!
Seriously! I totally thought he would be higher on the charts. Still super cute though! I'm glad he's eating something,although I agree; it sounds nasty!
He's higher on my chart. That smile says he's a foot taller. Love that little guy.
