2 Doctor Visits in 1 Day!

This past Friday, Evan had 2 appointments in one day. We started the morning with Dr. Trumbull for his 9 month check up. Evan weighed in at 20.8 lbs (40%) and was 28 1/2 inches tall (60%). Dr. Trumbull was very pleased with how Evan is progressing and said that he seems to be a very healthy and happy baby. We will start this week taking formula from his sippy during lunch. Laura Beth has been great and has already been doing this some. He seems to have transitioned just fine. He does not seem to care where it comes from, just as long as he gets it!! HAHA! Since Evan is not crawling on his knees- nor showing ANY interest in doing so- Dr.Trumbull is not sure he will walk by one. We will see!

Our 2nd appointment was with Dr. Elsas- a pediatric opthamologist at Children's in Birmingham. I was a little concerned about his eye that tends to turn in. After Dr.Elsas' assessment, he feels that Evan is just fine. Because he has a wide bridged nose, it causes the illusion that his eye turns it. He says that as he grows it should become less noticeable. Evan was a trooper all day!

After his long day, we decided to let him go to Nana and Big Daddy's house for the weekend. They had been asking for him for so long, but James and I could not bear the thought of him being away from us (78 miles) overnight. We are so glad that we let him go. It was good for Evan, for us and for the grandparents. They had a ball!

Evan showed James and me that he knows how to throw a temper tantrum! That's right...kicking legs, stomping feet, throwing his head back and forth and SCREAMING! This was the first time we had witnessed this, so all we could do was laugh, which seemed to make his even more mad! We thought it was funny! Where do they learn to throw such fits??

This was our attempt to keep Evan entertained while we waited for his eyes to dilate.

We had to wait in a dark room while his eyes dilated.
