Surgery is on

I took Kade for yet another pre-op physical on Monday. This time we got the all-clear to go ahead with surgery on Monday (assuming he doesn’t get sick between now and then). Since he will be 9-months old next Wednesday, our pediatrician went ahead with his 9-month Well Baby visit at the same time. He checked out good all around.

--Stats--
Weight: 20 pounds 11 ounces (52nd percentile)
Height: 29 ¾ inches long (84th percentile)
Head: 16 ½ inches (70th percentile)

He has really slowed down on his weight gain. He has dropped from about the 80th percentile down to the 50th. We credit that to the mobility. He is so much more active that he is really slimming down! He was starting to look like a King, but now that he's slimming down, I think he's going to be a Wilson just like his sister.

We also got the okay to start feeding him table food and to phase out the baby food. He’s not so sure about the table food just yet. He likes to eat it, but he still thinks he needs to be fed with a spoon. But then again we’ve only been doing it for a day now, so I’m sure it will improve with time!
