9 Month Well Baby Visit

Today Lucas had his 9 month well baby visit. He weighs 21lbs 1.5oz. He is 29 inches long. He is doing great and met all his milestones. Recently, we have been concerned about Lucas developing allergies. About a month ago, Lucas and I began sneezing within seconds of each other. The next two weeks I was miserable with allergies that eventually turned into a sinus infection. Lucas never got sick but seemed a little congested and had a minor cough every morning. We discussed putting him on allergy meds today and got a prescription for Zyrtec. We are going to try it to see if it improves things. We would like to get his allergies under control to avoid more long term effects like asthma. All three colds/infections Lucas has developed has lead straight to wheezing and a week of inhaler use along with 2 days of prednisone. So, wish us luck that the Zyrtec is all he will need!
