Adams Family News: Lincoln’s 9 Month Check Up and Pictures

Last month when we were in Dallas I took Lincoln for his 9 month check up. He’s doing very well but shocked me with only being in the 57% for weight! As you can see below he’s the continuing in his trend as the lightest of the Adams boys. The percentiles are a little off as we were with a different pediatrician until Jackson was 3 so their charts vary a bit. As usual here are the 3 boys stats for a fun comparison:

WEIGHT

Lincoln                 21.3 pounds                             57%

Baron                    22 pounds 10 ounces          85%

Jackson               23 pounds 12 ounces           90%

HEIGHT

Lincoln                 30.77 inches                           97%

Baron                     29 1/2 inches                          90%

Jackson                31 inches                                    90%

HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE

Lincoln                 19 inches                                   98%

Baron                    18 1/2 inches                            83%

Jackson                not written down                    97%

The drive back to Dallas is definitely not super convenient from Austin but this doctor is fantastic.

At 9 months Lincoln is doing very well and is such a little love bug. He’s out of his DOC band and still not sleeping very well (and still in his infant carrier) but loves to cuddle and snuggle and is a very happy little guy. He still gets up 4+ times a night and won’t really sleep anywhere but at home (not a great traveler). He’s in ECI (early childhood intervention) for delayed milestones and is doing very well in physical, occupational and speech therapy. We’re blessed to be working with some awesome ladies who come to our home 3ish times a week. While I’m thrilled that he’s doing well-I’m not in an entirely huge rush for him to crawl-I know what a game changer that will be and am not anxious to baby proof again!
Lincoln has 1 bottom tooth and 3 more (2 top and 1 bottom) coming in. His teeth take FOREVER to break through and it’s really tough on my little guy.
Linc spends a lot of time in the ergo carrier (when ever we are out of the house) and I just love feeling him snuggled up to me for so much of the day!
I was able to sneak out for some time with just Lincoln the other day (a very rare treat since the boys aren’t in preschool this semester) and I got his 9 month pictures taken.
Is this the sweetest and most precious little red head you’ve ever seen or what?

We’re not big Tony Romo fans but I love this 9 onesie because we’ve gotten each of the boys 9 month pictures taken in it. Of course the actual size is 18 months but it’s fit each of our boys perfectly at 9 months.

This shot does a great job of capturing Lincoln’s most common expression. He's always happily watching his big brothers and all of the excitement that surrounds them.
