Nine Months...

Today I had my 9 month well check.

Here are my stats:

(Pardon my teething rash - I'm cutting tooth #2)

Weight: 16lbs, 13 oz (15%)
Length: 27 1/4 inches (40%)
Head: 41 1/2 cm (2%)

Waiting to see Nurse NM - our original pediatrician went to strictly hospital work. And since Mom is becoming a nurse practitioner, we've decided to go with a pediatric nurse practitioner as my primary care provider.

Enjoying trying to untie Dad's shoelaces.

All smiles after my appointment.

No immunizations this visit, although, I did get a flu shot last week and I will be getting a booster in a few weeks. The bandage on my heel is from a heel poke to test my hemoglobin levels (15.3) so no iron deficiency here. However, we did talk about Vitamin D which I will be starting soon.


I was declared to be a very health baby - growing beautifully, albeit petite.

One other note - my hair is finally starting to come back in. After being born with a ton of hair and keeping that hair for many months, much of it recently fell out. Now I have a thin layer of dark fuzz. But Mom did trim my amazingly long bangs.

What I'm doing...
- Sitting up - it took a while for me to do this but a few weeks ago Mom decided to try it and I never fell over so all that "skydiving" (aka tummy time) made me very strong
- Beginning to pull myself up
- Saying "Dada" and "Nana"
- Give lots and lots of kisses
- Wave "bye-bye" - I wave at the wrist not the elbow
- LOVE playing with Big Brother - I think he's the COOLEST person EVER!
- I can take off my velcro diapers
- I do 90% of my #2s in the potty
- So far there is no food I don't like - especially finger foods and even the occasional carpet fiber
- Mom's milk is still my preferred snack for early morning, later evening, and mid-afternoon
- Still sleeping 14-16 hours/day
- But mostly crawling and exploring and being the "best baby ever" or so that's what Mom, Dad, and Big Brother say

(P.S. this is my 50th posting!)

  2. I can't believe she is already 9 months old. Time goes by so fast. Sounds like she is one happy little girl.
