9 Month Appointment

Today I had my 9 month appointment with Dr. Wilcox. This is the breakdown of my height, weight, and head circumference.

Height- 28 inches. I'm in the 64.82 percentile for length.
Weight- 22 pounds. I'm in the 92.04 percentile for weight.
Head Circumference- 17.75 inches. I'm in the 80 percentile for head circumference.

Dr. Wilcox said I'm growing well and I'm right on track. At my appointment he told me I have another ear infection. This is my sixth ear infection so I'm going to an ENT on Wednesday to have my ears looked at.

My Development at 9 Months

I am 9 months old today.




I...

• can stand up.
• love to play with my Laugh and Learn Kitchen.
• have eaten just about every kind of baby food from peas to mangos.
• explore food with my fingers.
• have my two bottom teeth.
  
• love to laugh.
• have started to resist diapering and will try to roll off the changing table to get away.
• can continuously repeat mama and dada. I've also said mom.
  
• have been caught standing in my crib and biting on the railing.
  
• wear size 4 diapers.
• have tried to crawl up the stairs. I made it up one step and then gave up. Mommy and daddy need to put up a gate soon.
  
• can walk with assistance.
• can hold onto a chair or piece of furniture and walk back and forth while holding on.
  
• still sleep in a HALO Sleepsack.

I Can Stand!

Today I decided it was time to take a stand. I crawled over to my Laugh and Learn Kitchen and stood up. I was so proud of myself that I started to smile and gave a shout out to mom. You can hear me say, "mama" and then "mom". I went from crawling to standing in one month so my mom thinks I'll be walking in another month. Who knows what I'll be doing two weeks from now.

I Can Crawl!

Hello world! I'm here to wreak havoc on you now that I can crawl. What can I get into? My parents better start baby proofing because I'm on the move and I'm not stopping. I really took off this weekend. For the past couple weeks I could crawl backward, but I just couldn't put it in first gear and crawl forward. That is over now!

Another Ear Infection

Mommy took me to the doctor on Friday and I have another ear infection. This is my 4th ear infection in 4 months. I'm taking Omnicef and one of the side effects is that my poop turns red. In the past I've taken Amoxicillin and Augmentin. Amoxicillin doesn't work for me and Augmentin gives me a really bad diaper rash. The last time I took Augmentin I got a diaper rash and it didn't go away for 3 weeks. Mommy tried everything!

Dr. Wilcox said that if I get 1 more ear infection within the next month I will have to get tubes in my ears. Mommy isn't worried about tubes because the benefits outweigh the risks. Ear infections are no fun!

BabyLegs

My mommy loves BabyLegs. She first saw them on the BabySteals website and she finally bought a pair. I started out with 2 pairs and then ended up with 11 more because she went crazy on black Friday.

Big Girl Bathtub

Mommy decided it was time to graduate to the big girl bathtub instead of the infant tub. I had a fun time playing with my bath toys, especially my garden bath book and rubber duckies.
