9-Month Well-Baby Exam



Nolan has now spent almost as much time outside of the womb as inside. It's unbelievable how much he's changed...how much he's grown...how much he's learned. This opportunity to raise three sons has been it's own course in miracles. Every single day...if we keep our eyes open, we witness another one. We are blessed.

As with the other boys, Nolan now has a baby nickname. Collin was Little Bug, Aaron was Little Bud, and we now affectionately refer to Nolan as Little Spark.

Nolan tolerated yet another well-baby exam. In lieu of the break from his vaccination schedule, we hit him with the flu shot. He also had a hemoglobin screen.

Weight: 22 pounds, 8 ounces, 80th percentile
Length: 29 1/2 inches, 90th percentile
Head circumference: 19 inches, 95th percentile
Hemoglobin: 11.4 bm/dL, which was within the normal lab range of 10.5-13.5

At Collin's 9-mo well-baby exam he weighed 25 pounds, was 31 inches long and had a head circumference of 18 3/4 inches.

At Aaron's 9-mo well-baby exam he weighed 22 pounds, 8 ounces, was 30 1/2 inches long and had a head circumference of 19 inches.
