Creeping Alex

Alex got to visit with his grandparents very briefly this past week. During his visit grandpa took this video of him moving. He is getting around more quickly now but he is still dragging his stomach on the ground and does not use his legs very well. Hopefully he will figure out a more efficient way to move soon.


We went in on Friday for Alex's 9 month check up. No shots this time, which was nice, just a general check up. Alex is doing fine but as you can probably tell, still on the small side. He weighed in at 16 pounds, 1 ounce. That puts him in the 3rd percentile. The doctor said we should try and fatten him up a bit and add some high fat foods to his diet. We are now pretty much adding butter and oil to everything we make for him. If only I had that problem and my doctor told me to fatten up a bit (I would be in cookie heaven).

The sooner he gets going the faster he goes and the more damage he can do.
