9 Months

Mason is 9 months old now. He just had his 9 month visit with the pediatrician a few days ago. He weighs 18lbs 9oz, and is 28 inches tall. He is long and lean. He has 5 teeth now. You can see his two top teeth in the picture above. He has three on the bottom.

The pediatrician referred him to see an allergist, as he has had a lot of stomach problems that are not normal. We first noticed it when he was only on breastmilk, and I have had to cut out all dairy and chocolate from my diet. That has really helped a lot. Unfortunately, since he started eating solids, we have noticed that he has some problems with some other foods as well. We haven't been able to pin point which ones yet, so hopefully the allergist will be able to help with that. We are now stopping all solid foods to start over, and only introducing one new food per week at day care, to hopefully be able to figure out what he is sensitive to.
Mason is still not crawling, but the pediatrician didn't seem too worried about it. Hopefully, he will get mobile soon (even though I'm not really looking forward to it).
Grandma was hanging out with Mason over Easter weekend.
