Callum had his 9-Month Well-Baby Checkup this morning.
All is good with the lad according to the doctor. He weighed in at 2 ounces shy of 24 pounds (10.7kg) and is 2 feet 5 inches (73.6cm) tall.
The only thing the doctor noted is that his skin has a slight orange tint to it (no it is not fake tanner). It is caused by a condition called Hypercarotinemia, which basically means he has a build up of Carotene in his system - the same stuff that makes Carrots orange.
Apparently store bought baby food contains a lot of it and since his appetite has increased lately, he is eating a lot of it even though we try to give him homemade food as often as possible.
Anyway, she wants us to start transitioning the kid to regular food now anyway so the issue will more than likely go away on its own.
