9 Month Check Up, Toys and Errands

Today Kaiden had his 9 month old checkup!! Okay he is 10.5 months so we're a little late but there weren't any shots so we're all good! He is 29 inches tall (60th percentile) and weighs 19.4 lbs (20th percentile). He is one long and lean lil man! If we're lucky he has my mom's genes and will be taller than us! Haha. The DR said he is advanced for his age both physically and mentally. She was surprised to see him walking and babbling all over the place. lol Its always good to hear your child is ahead of the game. He is healthy and happy as a clam except he has a really bad yeast infection thats been caused from all the upset tummies he has been getting since he started teething. At the end of the appt they had to prick his toe to draw blood to test his iron, which is also really good. He didn't cry just whinced, but I still felt really bad. We grabbed his prescription (for his infection) and left. =)
We headed for Babies R Us to get some formula and then to Target because I really wanted to pick out a toy for Kaiden. I know the toe prick didn't hurt him but I guess it was more to ease my own mind. LOL. Plus I like having age appropriate toys around the house. =) I found this really cool toy that you drop these balls into and they twirl and whirl down and then they POP up! It's way cool and was just the toy I was looking for! Kaiden learned how to use it very fast. This kid is a sponge! haha. =)

So then we drove home and I start getting the box opened and assembling the toy and I find out it requires D Batteries! Who ever have these on hand!? lol But I also had forgot the most important thing! Kaiden's prescription! Oh Snap! So I loaded Kaiden back in the car and drove to the Walgreens around the corner. (Have I mentioned how much I love being close to everything!? It makes random trips like this sooo much more bearable!) lol. I'm actually glad I went there anyways cause it only took 10 mins for them to fill our prescription AND they were having a buy one get one free battery sale! I must have been destined to go there! Haha. The 10 min wait was sooo nice, Im so used to the 1 hr minimum wait that we always had in Rexburg. I had forgotten how nice city living is!
So as far as new things Kaiden has picked up over the past few days, he can play catch, well he tries to throw the ball back to me instead of rolling like he was doing. We're still working on his "pitching arm! He also has these "Mega Blocks" (like leggos on steroids) lol and he use to just chew on them but he recently learned that they are also stackable! haha. My lil builder!
Well, thats it for now!
TTFN!
