9 Month check-up

Miles had his 9 month check-up today! He's healthy - finally! The wheezing has been gone for nearly a month now. I couldn't be happier!

Miles weighed in at 19lbs 12oz, putting him in the 45% for boys his age.
He was only 28.5 inches long, putting him in the 55% for boys his age.
His Dr. said this wasn't a big growing time for him - his energy is going to development instead of growth.
I could have told her that. Miles is super mobile, very smart, and gaining in coordination every day! What a stud - he'll be starting pitcher for the A's in no time.

Miles didn't have to get a shot today. He's technically due for the Hep B booster, but the Dr. said that he could get that booster at 9 mo or 12 mo - she prefers to let him have a happy 9 mo appointment and to put all of the "hurt" into one. I'm totally OK with that!

I'm needing sleep. Shots would have made tonight a long night. Miles was up most of last night-screaming and sweaty. Our air conditioning wasn't working all day yesterday and most of today. A cooling tower went down, so the entire South tower (all 22 floors) was without A/C on the hottest couple days of our year so far. Being on the first floor on the side of the building facing the north tower, we don't get much air circulation at all. Our apartment hovered at a sweltering 95 degrees with nasty humidity for a very long time. Miles was angry - and rightfully so - but he did sleep with his own personal fan. Neither Nate or I got that!

Luckily - as of 7 pm tonight, the A/C is up and running again, but at 50% capacity. There are 2 cooling towers for our building and one is on order for arrival sometime next week. Let's just hope the 2nd tower doesn't go down, and if it does, let's hope for cooler weather!

Oh yeah - for your viewing pleasure - here's a video (taken tonight in our dark living room) of Miles laughing during his dinner time. I'm still not sure what was sooo funny!
