Millie's Nine Month Check-up

Here are Millie's stats at nine months:
Weight: 21.4 lbs. (90% percentile)
Height: 28.5 in. (75% percentile)
Head: 45 cm (80% percentile)

We think the height might be a little shorter than she actually is, because we measured her at a little over 29 inches. Everything was great and the doctor said that we need to start moving toward lowering her formula ounces to around 18-24 oz. per day. She's on the high side of this, so I may attempt to go to the four hour feeding schedule again soon. Other than that, they said she is right on track for everything else. We went ahead with the H1N1 and seasonal flu shots since she didn't have any other shots to get today. Hopefully we made the right decision there :)

Happy Nine Month B-Day Millie G! (one day late)

Well, Miss G, you are 9 months old! You are getting so big and are really starting to get a personality all your own. You are eating food three times a day and still taking about 25 ounces of formula. You already have your two bottom teeth and just yesterday your top right one poked through. We can see three more right under the gum on top! You are crawling all over with ease and want to stand up every chance you get. You have learned how to break out of your "pillow pen" now, so all you do is crawl around and stand up where you can! You have started laughing at things like when you pull Mommy's hair or when you get formula on your nose. You are babbling a little, but no clear consonants yet. You are still sleeping 12 hours at night and taking 2-3 naps a day. Today, you started going from one couch to the other while standing up, so I'm sure you'll be walking in no time! Can't wait to see what the next month brings!
