Addie's 9 Month Check-up!

Can you believe that she is already 9 months old? She weighs 22lbs and is 30 inches long......both in the 97th percentile of babies her age. She is going to be a tall girl! Dr. Hall was happy with Addie's development and says "no, she is not too chunky.....no, you are not feeding her too much....and yes, it is perfectly normal for her to be stubborn and not want to crawl as much as other babies". She also said that it is just fine if Addie only wants to eat Mac n Cheese baby food for every meal of the day. Although, we are going to start working on those finger foods and I promise not too feed her like a baby bird every time, but to let her grab the food and bring it to her own mouth! I also confessed to Dr. Hall that I have been turning off the monitor at night, and surprise, she is sleeping through the night now! Atleast, to me, she is sleeping through the night. I know that she wakes up and whines for a half hour or so, but she does manage to get herself back to sleep. So....if the monitor is off, I don't ever hear this temporary whining and she is slowly but surely, learning to get herself back to sleep! We are almost out of the woods folks! Still, no, we are not interested in having Baby #2 anytime soon.......but atleast now we will entertain the idea........in a few years!
