And in this corner, wearing two new bottom teeth, able to crawl and pull himself to stand, and weighing all of 14 pounds and 15 ounces: KAI. (crowd cheers loudly).
Yup, you read that right. Our boy now weighs just less than 15 pounds at 9 months old, which means the doctor's worried about his weight again. The doc said we could put butter (in addition to olive oil) in his food and start to feed him cheeses and full-fat yogurt. Boy, if only his mama had the same problem. But, two of the reasons his weight has leveled off again is that he's using more energy to crawl and "walk" around everywhere (he's a highly active little guy), and that because he's teething (finally has two bottom teeth), he refuses to eat when his teeth are bothering him. Have you ever tried to force sweet potatoes into a wiggling and head jerking nine-month-old? He also has seemed to stop wanting to drink his formula, which has the most calories for its volume. Oh well, I'm sure he'll soon be back to the 3% growth line! :)
