9 month "stats"

Length = 29.5 inches, between percentile 75 and 90

Weight = 23 pounds, 2 ounces (after just eating an 8 oz bottle), between percentile 75 and 90

Head Circumference = 18.375 inches, between percentile 75 and 90
 
Hemoglobin- here's the surprise- 10.2- that's a little low, *especially* since the kid drinks formula and eats meat and fortified cereal.  The doc suspects her quick test machine was off, but has asked we take a few stool samples (make sure Xander isn't lactose intolorant- very unlikely) and give him iron suppliments for a few weeks, then retest.  I've bought some organically based iron drops vs. the mineral based kind so the kid won't get constipated... no one wants that!
 
Otherwise, a very clean bill of health, and as usual she gushed over how well Xander is doing.  Makes us parents feel pretty good!
