Right on target

Today was Van's 9 mo. checkup. Hard to believe! He is right in the middle of the growth chart -- 20 lbs. and 28 inches. with the exception of his head, which is suprisingly in the 60th percentile. He did well with his blood test but had a quick cry over his Hep.B vaccine. Dr. Walker gave us the green light for all sorts of new foods, including pasta, meats, and some dairy--so I know Van will be glad to indulge in a more filling menu. He charmed the entire office and someone even suggested we pay for his college tuition with his modeling career as the Gerber baby. Nice idea!
