A2 9 month well check

well... she is getting longer. Her weight has actually gone down in the last 3 months, from the last 2 weeks even. 3 months ago she weight 16 lbs. 8 oz. 2 weeks ago she went in for something else and she weighed 16 lbs. 10 oz. Yesterday she 16 lbs. 4.5 oz. She is moving around a lot more- she does have 3 older siblings to keep up with, so she is burning a lot more calories. Her head size and length are still moving up the charts so there is no need to worry. She still is on the small size for her age; between the 15Th and 20Th percentile.

She is probably our happiest baby. Hours can go by without her making a sound. She does very well going to bed on her own now and sleeping through the night. HALLELUJAH! I thought that day would never come! The past few weeks she has even started eating from a spoon. She picks things up with just her thumb and first finger and feeds herself. A couple days ago we pulled down the push walker, she can take a few steps with it before she chickens out and just starts crawling. She walks along furniture and if I hold her up and walk with her. She is such a joy in our family! A1 loves playing with her and no one can quite make her laugh like Sassy. It's interesting to watch how she interacts with each one of the older kids. She loves to cuddle with K. Whenever C is lying on the floor, she likes to climb all over him. And Sassy can just sit and entertain her like no one else. They are all such good helpers!
