heathrowgaWednesday was Katie's 9 month well-baby visit. She's 19 lbs 8 oz (25-50%) and 27.75 inches long (50%). The doctor was impressed with how you are blowing through milestones - you're standing and creeping, and you've been known to take a step or two while holding onto your Winnie the Pooh push toy.
By the way, the doctors are crazy. They required a blood test for Vitamin D and iron levels. Do you know that it takes 2 phlebotomists and 1 mommy to hold her down while they search for a vein in her perfectly chubby elbow? Now I do.
She is smart and funny and definitely her own little person. She is not a good sleeper, but we'll deal with that. She prefers to be in my arms or within a few feet of me, but I know that will pass. I hope. Because Mommy would really like to go to the bathroom on her own again.
I am most sorry for all the head trauma she accumulates. Whether it is from the occasional couch dive or falling flat on her back when creeping, I am so sorry that advanced calculus may not be in her future. Oh, as for Amelia jumping on the bed and landing on Katie while we were in the hotel room in Tampa? That was a shining moment of parenthood.
