Long, Lean, and Slightly Top-Heavy

Silas had his 9 month doctor's appointment on Saturday and he measured 29.5 inches (95th percentile), weighed in at 21 lbs (50th percentile), and has a head so large, it's no longer even on the growth charts. (He's got lots of brains and other important stuff in there, you know.) No worries. He comes from a long and happy line of big-headed people (i.e., the Haigwoods).

While at the doctor's office, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the appointment. Silas REALLY enjoyed watching the firemen (and firewoman!) in their big raincoats and hats. Everyone else who evacuated the building enjoyed watching the naked baby in the parking lot lose his mind with happiness over the big red fire truck.


Once the alarm was turned off and we were given the all-clear to re-enter the building, Silas's appointment picked up where it left off and, according to the pediatrician, he's doing great. He's eating well and meeting all of the milestones on time. We're going to watch his big head (seriously), which may require some follow-up, but I'm honestly not too worried about it.

Soon, we'll post pictures and an update of Silas's first plane trip to Destin, FL and the fun times he had with his Nana Donna, Papa, and COUSINS!!!!
