Guillermo was a trooper at his 9 month appt (a little late, so 9.5 months really). He had his last Pediarix shot and screamed like a banshee, but all in all it was great. He only screamed during his shot and when the doctor decided to check his ears and heartbeat. Other than that, he was very brave. The odd news is that he has lost weight. This is the first time EVER for Guillermo. He has lost 2 ounces since we were there 3 weeks ago. The doctor seemed a bit confused by this since he should be tapering off, but not losing weight, but he said that Guillermo will most likely be one of those babies that stays the same weight until he's 18 months or so. My little chubby baby is going to turn into a lanky kid??? I like his rolls!!
Guillermo was also given the go-ahead to eat whatever he wants as long as it isn't strawberries, honey, peanut butter or any kind of nuts. This means he can start eating meat, eggs, and even ice cream (I think our doctor likes ice cream because he was all excited to tell me that Guillermo could eat it now!) Wow! He's turning into a big boy!
So, the new percentages are:
Weight: 23 lbs, 1 oz, 80%
Height: 30 inches, 90%
New cool mad skillz include standing on his own more and more along with taking ONE step! He did this for his dad the other night. I, unfortunately, was washing dishes and missed the action, but I'm ready and waiting for another such occasion. Yeah, Guillermo!

Lanky, somehow I doubt it, robust, definetly!
He is getting more active - maybe that's where the two ounces went. Whatever, he will fluctuate up and down as he gets to be a bigger boy. He is healthy and happy.
I think it was all the calories he burned chasing after Graham and Elias. It sounds like he'll be walking (and RUNNING!) soon - next time Graham can challenge him to a footrace.
Have fun with the table food!
