Weight Check

Normally, Asa would've had a well-child check at the doctor's office last month, at 9 months old.  But since we're here, and since he's an obviously healthy boy, we opted to forgo anything resembling a real appointment and simply get him weighed for curiosity's sake.  I walked him up to the hospital last week and Eli ushered us into the Peds ward to get Asa weighed.

Here's the scale.  Notice the little hand poking out from the side :)

He weighed in at 11.2 kilos, which is slightly less than 25 pounds, which isn't much more than he weighed when we moved to Kenya a few months ago.  (Yep, that boy was 23.5 pounds at six months old when we came here.)  But he began crawling after we arrived, which accounts for the reduced weight gain.  Still, a 9-month old at nearly 25 pounds is a healthy moose baby :)

And he's an adorable moose baby too!  Big and beautiful.  We'll see if he still fits in the scale when he's a year :)
