Logan is now 9 months old!!! His birthday was April 18th 2006, and he just passed the 9-month mark. We took him to his 9-month checkup today. Logan's pediatrician is Doctor Mar. His office is in a rambling sixties office building near Greenlake. I had to take the bus up to the office, since the appointment was at 2:30.
Logan was a bit tired and a bit hungry, but he was relatively cheerful for the whole appointment - until he got a vaccination at the end. He's 30 inches long, 21.5 pounds and his head is 17 inches in diameter. That puts him in the 90th percentile for head size and length, and the 50 - 75th percentile for weight. I guess he has to eat more!
Otherwise, Doctor Mar said Logan seemed very healthy. I think he used the word "solid" to describe him. I held Logan on my lap while Dr. Mar looked in his ears, snapped his fingers to watch Logan track sounds, and listened to his chest. Logan went along with this pretty well. He tried to grab the Doctor's glasses, and pointed at his nose.
The Thursday night before the appointment Logan and Heidi had their first swim lesson at the Greenlake Community Center pool. Heidi said that Logan loved the class, and seemed much happier than any of the other kids. I went night skiing that night. It was a strange evening - it was 26 degrees and drizzling. The rain fell on the snow and turned into an icy crust. Needless to say, we didn't stay out all night. Eventually it just started to feel dangerous to ski any more - we felt like we could twist a knee falling in the gloopy, icy slush.
