Nine months old and off the charts

We took Leah for her 9 month check up and found out that she is off the charts....literally. She only gained 15 ounces so she isn't even on the growth chart anymore. She was in the 10th percentile or so, but not now. So we have been instructed to start her on formula. We will see how it goes. She weighed 13 pounds 12 ounces. The doctor reassured us that her head circumference was normal so he really wasn't worried about anything. We just have to plump her up some. She is still wearing 3-6/6 month clothes. She continues to roll everywhere. She attempts to get on hands and knees when reaching for objects and then decides rolling is the best way to get there. She has begun feeding herself some fingers foods, but still needs some practice with her aim sometimes. It's so much fun to watch her learn new things. She loves to shake and bang objects together. She babbles all the time, but Greg is still waiting on dada.

She is a great little sleeper. I could still watch her sleep for hours. This is now her favorite napping position. I love the little ruffles!
Leah went to the pool for the first time, but could not understand why she needed to wear her swim suit. As far as she was concerned she was just in a big bathtub. She was more interested in the other kiddos running around than she was in the water.

We finally ventured to south Alabama for Leah to visit Greg's family. She got to meet her cousins she had never met. She loved all of the attention she received. She did well on the trip so we are looking forward to going again.

This is Leah with her grandparents and her cousin who is just 3 months older.

Leah also got to meet Nannie for the first time.

Ready to go for a walk.

My family came over for father's day. Greg had a great day.

Leah is giving her Grump his card.

  1. Kelly, she's beautiful!! She reminds me of my Little Bit...she has always been negative on the charts. But, that's okay. They are just petite little girls! Would love to see her in person some time. One day, you will have to travel back to Tyler with her! :-)
