My sweet baby girl turned nine months old yesterday. I'm still in a little shock that she's that old. It was so strange to hear the doctor say as we were leaving her well check appointment today, "Her next check-up is at one." Oh boy. That will be a day.
She's kind of had this Michael Jordan thing going on for the past few days. The tongue is always out! Somehow, she still makes this look pretty!
She's a peanut. Only weighed in at 14 pounds, 4 ounces. Um, that's actually an ounce less than she weighed at six months. The doctor was only a little concerned. I mean, she really is crazy healthy and engaging. It's fairly obvious. She's crawling all over the house already and has been for a month or so, so the doctor thinks she's just burning all that she eats. She's certainly a good eater and she certainly lets us know when she's hungry. :) It was funny to be plotting her on the growth chart that I keep at home and see that she's not even on the chart at all now! I mean, when you have a kid the size of Clay who's been off the growth chart in the OPPOSITE direction since he was two weeks old, it is a bit strange to have a teeny tiny one. She's still drowning in 6-9 months clothes.
E measured 26 1/4 inches in length. Again, a peanut in this tall household! I remarked to Ronnie after her appointment today that let's just say she ends up being like 5'6" or so as an adult, Clayton could be a full foot or more taller than her! Yes, that big guy is forecast to be between 6'6" and 6'8"! Think it's only about two years at most 'til we're looking eye-to-eye with him.
The girls have been playing so well together. They enjoy (especially Gaby) playing with their brothers' things while they're at school. This was the game the other day. Gaby driving Clay's remote control car and Elena crawling after it. Kind of reminded me of a cat and mouse game. :)
And crawling through the end table is always fun too, of course!
