9m Dr. Appt :)


So I finally made it to the Dr!!! Remember me saying last week that I completely spaced it... not this week I EVEN got up early to prepare for it !!

It was a great visit :) I was able to kill two birds with a stone because Gigi had been running a fever and had a runny nose so it was nice to get that looked at too. I thought she was teething her first top tooth... but it looks like she is going to get all four in very soon! The Dr. said they are just BEGGING to break through...oh dear me ! Poor thing :( However, That teething fever and runny nose turned into a small cold... booger sucker here we come!!

Everything looked great as far as her growth. She is just under 23 lbs and is 29.75 inches long :) I definitely think she will have both her mommy and daddy's height. She said we are good to start feeding her table foods... oops we started that months ago :) Since Gigi loves her sippy so much Dr. B said we can start her on a regular cup... oh boy I see many many spills ahead ;) I think we will stick with the straw for now!


She had to get a heel poke...that didn't even phase her. Then she has to get a skin test... again nothing... and even the regular flu shot.. a squinting of the eyes but no crying... she is definitely NOT my daughter... she must get her pain tolerance from her daddy :)

The only test she failed was her clapping test... she doesn't know how to hit her hands together. She will smack her lags and thighs but not her hands. She can say mama and dada and practically run the stairs. She has GREAT fine motor skills and showed the Dr. this by using her pointer finger and thumb nails to slowly peel her band aids off, yet she doesn't clap... I am not worried... she will learn to clap eventually ... right ;)

Her new favorite thing to do is dance dance dance. Anything I jump up and down and move around and say yay she wrinkles her face and squints her eyes and dances :) Pure Joy!
She is just starting to stand by herself... oh no... this means my baby girl is growing up and will be walking soon!!!!



All in all she is one BIG healthy girl!

Glad she is so healthy! She is as cute as ever. :) We are already feeding table foods too. Whoops (although, not really a 'whoops' as it was a very researced decision!)
Have a great weekend!
