And yet here we are again with another onesie update for our growing girl!! 9 months old!!
She still has her four top teeth and two bottom teeth but the way that her hands are always in her mouth, you'd think more are on their way!
The girl loves to eat. Understands some basic signs and let's you know by smiling or crying what she wants when seeing such signs! Favorite foods are rice cereal mixed with green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, peaches or pears. Although she's started gagging at the pea combo. She prefers them without rice cereal mixed in. Oh and let's not forget her love of Cheerios!
She started saying Mommy right before her 9th birthday. Best sound yet!
The girl is incredibly flexible. Usually she's chewing on her toes (gross) or doing the splits.
Who me?? Ha!
She passed her 9 month appointment with flying colors. And luckily there were no vaccines needed. Just a toe prick to check iron level which was on the low end of normal so we'll start on chicken and turkey soon!
Stats:
Height- 27.75" (57th percentile)
Weight- 17lbs (16th percentile)
Head- 45cm (79th percentile)
Ashley's pediatrician isn't worried about her weight percentile because breastfed babies tend to be on the lower end of the percentiles but she is following a great growth curve. The only thing that raised an eyebrow was that when we took her in 2+ weeks prior for a potential ear infection (false alarm) she weighed 18lbs and now she weighed 17lbs. However, it was different scales so we aren't exactly sure if it should be a concern or not. The way she eats is good but the girl is always on the move army crawling from here to there and that takes a lot of calories. So if anything, try to feed her more! Not sure that is really possible but we'll try. The pediatrician also said no more night feeding (anytime A woke up at night Sara was feeding because of her skinny disposition) but the doctor said we didn't need to do that anymore. Ah, relief! So her weight definitely isn't that big of concern or Dr. Engle would say to keep feeding her at night for the calories!

Last but not least, Ashley adores her big brother who loves her just as much. The two of them will crawl in circles around the kitchen laughing all the way. He's learning to share his toys because she wants to play with everything he is playing with. Ah, such sibling love!
