Logan had his 9 month follow up yesterday and every thing seems to be good. The main thing is that the Dr. wasn't very concerned about his back. She thinks it is just that he doesn't like to sit on his man parts or the bulk of his diaper. She thinks he would grow out of the bad posture and that his back will be okay. We may do an x-ray later if it doesn't improve.
Logan now weighs 17 lbs 5 oz (only 5 oz more than in June) which puts him in the 5-10 percent (not so great). He seems to be dropping percentile still so we are adding another feeding of solids into his day and increasing the formula intake. His length is good at 28 1/4 " which puts him the 50th%. She says that he isn't unhealthy or weak so it appears that he is just a small child. She would be concerned if his length was also off and or he appeared to be weak. She said it makes sense with how small Stephen and I are (especially Stephen).
The only thing a little off is that he still has a blocked tear duct. It isn't a huge deal. I guess they are pretty common and they usually go away on their own. If it isn't gone by his 1 year follow up then we will have to take him to an eye specialist. We just have to milk it and massage it daily to help prevent infection. If you remember we thought he had pink eye a while back. This is what it actually was, it was just really bad at that time so she just wanted to make sure he wasn't getting an infection (like pink eye).
He had his hemoglobin checked and it was good. Logan is all around healthy it seems. Just a little shrimp. We were hoping he would get my families body type, but it seems he is going to take after Stephen.
Well that is it. I just wanted to give everyone the Dr. appointment update.
Oh yea!! We are getting Logan's 9 month pictures taken on Sunday. We are excited!!

What a little cutie pie! I could just eat him up! He may be small but watch out because mighty things come in small packages! Give him and Zach a big hug and kiss from Aunt DeAnna for me! =)
Ewwww... milking?! Poor guy-- and poor mom and dad, for that matter. That can't be too fun for anyone. Thanks for the update! :)
