9 Months Baby Check-up

July 17 officially was my little man's 9 month birthday. Time is flying by, it feels like yesterday I brought him home from the hospital and had no clue what to do next, but now it's like a breeze. He sleeps through the night, well let me take that back, he sleeps from 8:2o ish around to about 4am, wakes daddy up, he got the night shift (he he...). So the little man wakes up around 4am, I still don't know if he is hungry, cold, warm or just misses me :-)
I will figure it out one day. So he wakes up at 4am plays for about half an hour then falls asleep finally waking up at 8am ish, If I am lucky he wakes up at 8:30am. Oh how I miss the days of sleeping in, will we ever meet sleeping in days? Probably not but that's okay, this is part of the a wonderful job, taking care of the little one. Plus I have my sister to wake up at early and watch him while I get some zzzzz's, hey gotta have some perks. Plus it's her nephew and she doesn't mind.
So at our 9 month doctor appointment, the Doctor checked his vitals (a-ok) and checked his weight unfortunately it's in the 10th percentile (17lbs 4 oz). I am not so worried as I have been in the past. I was a tiny girl. My hubby was tiny too so no worries, he is active and healthy, that's all that matters. He is tall however, surprisingly (28 inches tall) apparently he is in the 50th percentile for that. I am shocked, both my hubby and I are short, not that short, but we short. I wonder if the little man will be tall...hmmmm...
Anyway, he is a-ok in the Doctor's book. Now my challenge is what should a 9 month old be eating. The Doctor said whatever is on your plate, of course certain things he cannot have yet. And I don't want to introduce sugars to him as yet, he will have the whole life to eat sugars. I wonder however if he will eat sugary items. I love candy and my husband not at all. I hope the little one loves candy. Don't tell hubby that :-)
