Got Milk?

JT had his 9-month check-up today, and I must say, it was one of the best ones to date! Lots of good news, but the most exciting news of all??? We can start JT on regular milk and table food now...no more (expensive) formula!!! Woop-woop! Doc says he just got back from a pediatric conference/meeting, and he learned lots of new things about new guidelines for feeding a baby. So glad he shared what he learned...we are way excited!

First thing when we got home...ate a cracker!
And JT loved it! He did so good...no choking!

As a first-time mom, you hear lots of different things like, "Don't feed your baby cow's milk or table food until they're 1," and "No solid food until they're 6 months old...anything earlier than that can lead to childhood obesity." BLAH BLAH BLAH! I'm going with Dr. Ski. "Give the boy some (2%) milk, and relax, mom. He's healthy and looks great...now stop worrying!" He did have to specify 2% because JT does not need whole milk. Hahaha! We ♥ Dr. Ski!

John Thomas is getting to be such a big boy. He weighed in at 23 lbs. 10 oz. and he is 29 inches long. His head measured 18 1/2 inches...he's got a big ol' head! When we checked out, I almost cried when the lady said, "So we need to set up his next appointment...his 12-month check-up." I said, "Oh my gosh...already???" I guess that means it's time for another baby. ;-) I mean, JT will be driving before we know it.

Driving Daddy's truck (not really)

We are really enjoying our 9-month-old baby boy. He is so much fun! His newest thing is he's giving "sugars" (or kisses) and it's the sweetest thing EVER. 

JT giving Daddy some "sugars"...he loves his Daddy!

We are so blessed with a healthy baby, and we are grateful beyond words. Thank you Lord for our precious JT! He's such a joy...

It won't be long before JT crawls into and overtakes our bed!
I can't wait :-)
