9 month check up

Today Rachel had her 9 month check up. She is doing great. She charmed the staff as usual and again the Dr. asked us if he could take her home. She had to have her foot pricked for an iron test and she didn't even bat an eye at it. She was very interested in what they were doing. She didn't really like the shot though. I think she was more upset that we had to hold her still.

Here are her stats:

Weight: 18lbs 11.5 oz (50%)

Length: 29.25 inches (95%)

Head: 17.75 (78%)

She is growing so much everyday. Discovering new things and sounds. Right now she loves to squeal, and growl. She makes lots of sounds like baba, dada, mama, what sounds like Hi, and a few others, but I don't think she is actually calling for us when she says dada or mama. That will come I am sure.

She is finally liking most baby foods, and any table good we put in front of her. Carrots,green beans, gold fish crackers and yogurt are her favorites.

She is standing up and walking along the furniture and love to push the kitchen chairs around. If there is something Rachel isn't suppose to have she goes for it all the way. And the word 'No" to her means hurry and crawl really fast or grab as much as you can.
