9-month Visit Stats

I just realized that I never posted about Noah's 9-month well baby visit to the pediatrician. So here's a quick run-down on how things went...

-Noah's a happy healthy baby
-Still small on the growth charts, but perfectly proportioned
-All blood work within normal ranges (blood lead level is normal)
-2 immunizations: third Hepatitis B and seasonal flu
-H1N1 was not yet available, but will be in late October
-Little bit of fluid behind his ear drum, but nothing to worry about at this time
-Mom and Dad got their seasonal flu vaccinations too

I highly encourage our friends and family to get their flu vaccinations as flu season is quickly approaching. We're trying to keep Noah healthy and happy and we appreciate your help to too.

3rd Tooth

Noah's first top tooth started to appear over the last week. He was in such a funk on Labor Day. We couldn't please him no matter what we tried, so we figured something was up. A few days later his top left front tooth appeared. Noah now has a new favorite habit which drives both Mom and Dad crazy... grinding his teeth. I cringe just thinking about the sound he makes as he mashes his three teeth together. I'm sure it's just a stage, but I hope it's a short one. I'm not sure how much grinding Mom and Dad can handle.

Sorry, still no pictures of the pearly whites. They just aren't sticking out of his gums far enough yet to capture them on film.
