9 months check up!

This morning was Adah's 9 month well baby check up and her last visit to the Dr. here in Monterey...that is unless she gets sick....which we hope does not happen! She did so good! She did not have to get any shots today but did have to get her little finger pricked to check her iron levels. She was such a little trooper! She didn't even make a sound or even act scared! I think she was most excited about getting a neon pink bandaid on her finger when it was over....she sucked that thing right off!

The doctor said that she looks absolutely perfect. She is just average on height, weight and head size! Her iron level was slightly low so they gave us a list of iron rich foods (most of which she LOVES and eats all the time already) and they are keeping her on her vitamin enriched with iron!

Some things Adah is up to lately:

-wearing size 3 diapers

-size 9mth or 6-12 clothes

-clapping

-pulling up (usually only to reach a book or paper)

-getting in position to crawl and rocking

-TALKING constantly

-HATES her changing table

-gets PISSED when you take anything away from her

-LOVES to feed herself (broccoli, chicken, string cheese, pasta w/ meat sauce, toast and cream cheese...those are just a few favorites)

-likes to drink like a big girl....won't do a sippy

-LOVES people and hamming it up to anyone who will look at her

-weighs 19.12 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long

-sleeping 10 hours straight before waking at 5am for a feeding then back down til 7 or 8!

-napping 2x's a day (only for 30min in her crib but 1.5-2 hrs in the car!)

-learning to wave bye-bye (will do it sometimes)

Right after her finger prick! Such a good little girl!

Yummy bandaid!
