9 Month Check Up and More

We took Grace on Tuesday of this week to the Doctor for her 9 month check up. (We were unable to go last week). She weighed 201b. 10oz., height- 27 1/2 inches long, and 17 1/2 in. head circumference. She said she was about 75th% for weight, 50% for height and 60% for head circumference. She said she looked great and Grace showed off her vocal ability for them while we were waiting in the room. She was YELLING out, being very loud saying "Daa, Daa, Daa, Daa"!:) (Still no "Ma, Ma", but I am really working on this with her now!:) The only thing is we got them to look at the bump on her left eyelid again because the warm compresses that we were trying to do for it were not really working. Although, we were not as consistent as we should be (it is hard with an ACTIVE baby:) So to make sure and to help us maybe try something else.. she has referred us to a pediatric eye Doctor to look at it. So we are going to take her this next Friday. I am glad to go get this seen about next week.

We told her how she has been "moving around" and it is totally normal. We did tell her how she is crawling backwards some and she said that she will probably be crawling then with in a month?? She is definitely getting into the crawling "stance" all of the time now and will go a step or two forward and that is as far as she can go!:) She will then go backwards a few steps and come to a sitting position. She does this over and over all of the time now. She has "mastered" sitting up by herself from her stomach or knees and does this ALL OF THE TIME! As a matter of fact, I took some pictures of her of how we find her now in the crib when she wakes up in the morning or at naps!

She also LOVES to be read to and loves Music! Her favorite book by far....................."Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

P.S. I am planning on getting a picture of her first teeth when they grow in a little more. You can really see them more now even when she smiles sometimes, or when she is eating! Cute!:)

This first picture looks like she is "up to something"! Doesn't it??

As you can see, she had also pulled her sock off! :)

Getting in her "stance"!

Posing!
