John is 9 months old now. He is about 30th percentile in weight, but still has a big head (90th %). He is a little bit behind on some of his gross motor skills, namely sitting and standing. He can sit but he's not very stable and he arches his back a lot and tips over. He doesn't try to stand much or pull up on things. I like to think he's like Ferdinand the bull. He can stand up when you hold his hands, he just doesn't like to do it. :) Our doctor recommended taking him in to the pediatrician again once we get to Illinois and if he is still behind she recommended getting some preventative physical therapy for him. So I'm hoping we can encourage him to sit and stand a bit more before then. I put him in double boppies to help practice sitting after our appointment today.
Ferdinand liked to sit and smell the flowers...quietly
He's not behind in cuteness. He's our gentle Johnny.
