I finally made it onto growth chart! At my 9 month check up last week I was 16 pounds 12 ounces and 24 inches long. My progress is slow but steady and puts me in the 5th-10th percentile for weight and 30th for head circumference. I’m still below the range for height in my age group and setting that as a future goal.
Since my last post, I’ve resumed my specialists appointments, gotten a bigger helmet, started rolling from my back to my belly (but my arms get stuck), and officially have my two bottom front teeth. My biggest health news is that the muscular hole in my heart will most likely close on its own over time. Yay! However, my other larger hole is growing as I do and currently 15mm. This means I might require heart surgery sooner than originally thought. We will find out more though at my next cardiology appointment in July.
Thank you for cheering me on as I continue to grow and progress in my own time. I’m truly setting my own pace.
Love,
Hendrix
