9 Month Checkup

We had our 9 month checkup one week before he's 10 months old.
As we expected our little monster is not eating enough.
He weighs 18 lbs 10 oz and is about 28 inches long. He's like in the 15th percentile for weight and 40th or so for height. He's gotta eat more because he's so skinny! He's so picky with the formula. There are times when he'll willingly drink it and then there are times (which are most of the time) when he'll absolutely refuse to drink it and cry his head off.
He'd much rather be crawling and getting into everything than eat.

I'm trying to wean him and only feeding him in the morning and at night but it's hard.
Lately, he's been super fussy and waking up a lot at night. He also has a little fever which most likely means he's teething. We're thinking his molars are coming in. I've decided that I don't like teething. He's woken up like every hour in the middle of the night. NOT fun when we get up early the next day and have no time for naps.

  1. Krew must be teething too!! I was up all night with him and he has been so cranky. Please come to the next recipe night, seriously every time there is someone new and you can just get to know everyone. I might have to kidnap you:)

  2. Poor guy! Teething is tough. Shelby's done okay with it but I think they've been really bugging her this weekend. She's not walking yet, but I think it's probably in the next month or so.
