9 Month Check-up!


My daughter is a bean pole. She has not gained ANY weight since her last doctors appointment! In fact, she lost an ounce! But the doctor told me I shouldn't be alarmed. She's progressing beautifully in all other areas... thank heaven! She really puts down the solid food, but she's not huge on finishing her bottles. Oh yeah, she self-weaned a few weeks ago... much to my dismay! So, it's all formula for the next few months. 

She's into EVERYTHING these days. Very busy... Perhaps that's why she doesn't gain any weight! She's SO close to crawling, but hasn't quite mastered that yet. She scoots, rolls and sort of army crawls to whatever she can get her hands on! We are loving every minute with her! Here's a cute pic of her in the tub... well, sink. I know, I know! It's easier for me to bathe her there though! And at the rate we're going, she'll fit in there 'til she's 7. Haa! ;-D

Here are her stats: 
Weight: 14 lbs. 11 oz. (3rd %...yes, you read that right)
Height: 28.5 inches (75th %)
Head Circumference: 17 inches (25th %)

She is so darn cute!! Both mine self weened too... not too fun. I wasn't quite ready either. I think those were my kids' stats at 3 or four months!! lol.

It was so GOOD to talk to you today! I have missed you like nobodies business!!And Corinne is so stinking adorable! And...I think it great that you bathe her in the sink. Avery was always too big for the sink! Enjoy her while she is small, because she will be 3 years old before you know it! Believe me, I know!
Love you!!

Dont worry Ris, she's just got your genes and she burns more calories than she can eat! She is so cute. I'm serious when I say you should enter her in a baby contest. She is so dang Beautiful!

Seriously, this girl is BEAUTIFUL! I cannot believe she is so tiny, though. I guess I haven't seen her in a while. My sister said she saw you at the appt yesterday. :) How fun! It seems she is definitely getting her exercise. :) (My first who topped the charts with his weight, just sat there all day... I guess it pays to exercise. :)

What a big (little) girl! How cute - i love the hair. She looks just like both of you, she definitely has your eyes mommy. Enjoy her immobility while it lasts, your freedom decreases the more she moves -lol! Bummer about the weaning thing, awesome that she nursed this long! Great job mommy!
Hugs, Becca

P.S. That pic...Gerber baby!

What a beauty this little niece of mine! Don'y worry yourself to much! As soon as she starts eating table food and whole milk she will plump up for sure! I sure wish I had the problem of not being able to gain weight! Tell her to enjoy it!JK Love you!

don't worry. my cooper has been like that the day he was born. except his head was in the 10th percentile when he was born. how sad is that? but he's healthy so that's all that matters. and your daughter is absolutely beautiful!

Nanabanana said...

Oh my--I think she is the most beautiful little girl I've laid eyes on and when she's not looking beautiful she's the cutest!!!Her expressions crack me up!!What a blessing she is to our family.

Noelle said...

She is soooo adorable! I'm ready to send Jesse back to AZ in about 19 years to see how she's doing! I understand about the self-weaning too. Jesse did it at 7 months. Thank heavens for snuggling! Miss you all!

Sassy said...

Don't feel bad about her weight, Jonas barely weighed that at 1 year old. But a few months after weaning him at 15 months he totally chunked out. It's hilarious to see how stalky he is now and how scrawny he was then. She'll get there (whole milk helped, maybe formula will too), besides, they're so much easier to carry when they're skinny, Jonas is pushing 30 lbs now and that's a lot for a little girl to lug around!

JakenDebbie said...

She must have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen on a baby!! You sure make 'em good! :)
And don't stress about the weight...my Katie can't gain weight for the life of her. She will be 2 in December and barely hit 20 lbs! I guess she takes after her dad...can't gain weight for anything! :)
