9 month well check

Truman is doing well! His 9 month check was actually around a 9.5 month check, but it doesn't really matter!

The funny thing about today's checkup is that we were just talking about this same situation with Jon's sister while we were in Houston last week.

The nurse called Truman's name and walked us back to the room. She asked me to get Truman down to a dry diaper. She then measured his length and his head circumference. We then brought him out to the baby scale out in the hall. He was so cute while on the scale! A good thing he sat still for a short time at first so she could get a pretty accurate weight. He started bouncing around on the scale after about 30 seconds!

Anyway, we went back into the room and she said Dr. Mitha would be with us shortly. Meanwhile Jon called to see what our plan was for dinner for Elianna's birthday tonight (I'll do another post soon about her and Connor's birthdays!) Then there was a knock on the door. Told Jon, I gotta go! It was the nurse coming back in to recheck the measurement of Truman's head. I said, "Don't worry about it! He's just got a big head--so did his brother and sister!" The nurse then remeasured and said, "Mom knows what she's talking about."

That's pretty much what I told the radiologist when they were concerned about his head size to femur ratio during an ultrasound :-)

Anyway, the same thing had happened to Kate and Khachik when they brought Alex to the doctor! The Van Hulzen kids just have big heads!

Trumans stats:
Weight 19 lbs. 3 1/2 oz 25 - 50%
Height 28 1/2 inches 50 - 75%
Head 18 1/2 inches 90% (The older two were always at 98%+!! So his is small compared to theirs!
