Follow-up Appointment

Jacob was taken to the doctor today for follow-up to his 9-month appointment. The doctor wanted to check and see if the fluid in his ears from his ear infection was dried up. Good news!! There is none of the fluid that shows up after the infection and everything checked out as well too!! Jacob weighed in a 20 pounds, 10 ouces and is now 29-1/2" long. He certainly didn't gain much and the doctor asked as if she already knew the answer as to whether or not he is pulling himself up. Amy answered yes and the doctor noted that babies don't gain weight as fast once they are more active in pulling themselves up.

During their discussions, the doctor noted how muscular Jacob's legs were. Amy had tried to putting Jacob down and he quickly stuck out his legs so that he didn't sit down. The doctor said, "There isn't any fat in those legs..."

Jacob is definitely getting more and more mobile every day and improving the speed at which he is getting up on the furniture as well as walking along it. Bursts of energy are ever increasing his laughter and speed. Look out world, here comes Jacob!!!!!
