A Tall Boy

Gavin had his 9 month check up on Tuesday. (he won't be 9 months for another week or so) Both the doctor and the nurse were surprised to see that he is 30 inches tall! He is in the 95th percentile for height. No one would expect anything less from a Carson. He comes from a long line of basketball players. He is 17.9 lbs. The doctor said he may look skinny, but for his height it is perfectly normal. Gavin has had a little bit of a runny nose, sneezing and red, itchy eyes, so the doctor put him on Claritin. His doctor said he probably won't need it past the allergy season. I was glad to hear it was nothing more than allergies when the morning of his appointment I woke up to the sound of Levi vomiting. I guess he just had a bug, because he went on to work and has been fine ever since.
Oh and I got Gavin a great doctor today! I have been trying for a while and they said I called at the perfect time because he usually has a full case load. The new doctor is in Little Rock and if ever he needs to be admitted into the hospital, he will go directly to Children's Hospital. Of course I hope we never have to use that perk.
Oh yeah.. Gavin has learned to stand on his own for a few moments without holding on to anything. He will be walking in no time! Which of course I will cry both tears of joy for and tears of sadness that my baby is turning into a toddler faster than I expected. He also is getting a second tooth. In the picture where he is in the car seat you can see his first tooth. That is the first and only time I have ever actually gotten it on camera! ... and believe me, I've tried.My first tooth!
