Visit to the Park and going to the Doctor

Wednesday afternoon we went to the park and met our friends Sandy and Sachin. We meet them in mom and baby yoga back when Abhi was around 3 months. We haven't seen them since so the boys have changed so much since then. Sachin is a month older than Abhi. Back in the days of yoga, they used to admire each other from a distance laying on their blankets but now they can sit up and really interact. They also introduced us to swinging and Abhi had a blast! He was smiling and having so much fun especially when I would push him and he would go higher. Lots of new experiences with the nice weather!

Abhi also had his 9 month doctors visit on Thursday. Yes, it is a little late. We missed his original appointment because I forgot! Don't ask... But, he is 22 1/4lbs (gained about 4 pounds since 6 months - all that food!) which puts him in the 50th percentile for weight. He is 28 inches long (grew 2 inches since 6 months) which puts him in the 75th percentile with height. Overall, he is doing well and the doc is happy with his progress. I was so happy because there are no shots for the 9 month appointment but come to find out Abhi still had to get checked for anemia - drawing blood. I hate having my own blood drawn so I got really nervous. But, it ended up going better than I initially thought. Poor Abhi, he thinks every time we go to that place he has to get poked with needles. Next appointment is at 1 year and it is back to 4 shots!
