The Big Girl Checkup


Yesterday was Ashley's 9 month well visit and it is official.... she is a squirt! She is 16 1/5 lbs and 26 inches long. (Maybe a little longer she wouldn't hold still very well for the nurse!) The doctor is very happy with her size and development. No childhood obesity here, and her other development is right on track or a little ahead. She already has 6 teeth and can walk holding onto the furniture with 1 hand. I think she will be walking on her own any time now, she just has to work on her balance.

I did feel a little bad b/c the entire time in the car I told her no shots at this checkup but when we got there it is flu shot time, so she got her flu shot and her blood taken. She wasn't a happy camper about that.
Oh, and that paper on the table sure does seem interesting to a 9 month old, esp when you are trying to rip it off!

Happy 9 months little squirt! Having blood taken is horrible, poor things.

It looks like she is saying, "it's ok daddy, just hold my hand."

She is a tiny little squirt. At least you get your money's worth out of baby clothes.

Anna also loves the paper at the doctors office. It's the coolest thing to babies.

I think the next time you go to the doctors you should take a box of crayons so you can all color on the paper while you are waiting for the doctor...Ashley would love it!
