9 Month Well Baby Visit

Here are her stats from this month:

Weight - 21lbs (75-90%)
Height - 29.5 inches (right at 97%,top of the chart)
Head - 18 inches (90%)

At 6 Months, she was:

Weight - 19 lbs, 10 oz (right at 97%,top of the chart)
Height - 28 inches (above 97%, off the chart)
Head - 17 1/4 inches (75-90%)

She's still working on that 4th tooth, it's the top left tooth. It emerges and then swells over. This has been going on for about a week now. Poor baby. She's not sleeping well at night and has been somewhat whiney during the day with daddy. She's crawling all over the living room and walks along the couch to the footstool and over to the side table next to the rocking chair. She still loves her bathtime in the evening and is ready to settle down to nurse and fall asleep immediately afterwards (around 8pm). She eats a dinner meal and either breakfast or lunch, some days she gets both. She has snacks during the day of Gerber fruit and veggie puffs to practice chewing and feeding herself. She loves picking up the food and popping it into her mouth. Once in a while, much to Lannie's delight, she misses her mouth and it falls to the floor. She's also getting frozen mango or sweet potato in her mesh feeder to help ease the pain of teething. With the 3 teeth she has now, it takes her no time to mash and suck the food right out of there.

Zoe is full of life, laughs and squeels. She is so much fun to have around!
