Today is Rachel's 9-month birthday! WOW! She is getting so big. She is crawling now, she has two teeth that are coming in and she is pulling herself up to stand. All this happened in the last two weeks. She is so grown up, but yet is still such a little girl.
It is so much fun to watch her crawl. Since she really just started doing it this week, she is still a little awkward. She moves almost like a robot. And she only crawls a few feet and then sits down. She wants to hold onto everything and pull herself up.
We had her 9-month check up this morning - no shots! She weighed 18 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 27 1/4 inches long. She is in the 45% for both categories. She had been at the 25% for weight since she was born, so she is catching up. She was always about 50% for height.
She had moved to Level 2 of Gerber Baby Food, but the doctor said this morning that she should be eating three meals a day and 2 snacks. And that she can eat the food we are eating, just cut up or mashed to meet her needs. So at day care this morning I took one of their menus and selected some food for her to eat over the next two weeks...things like mashed potatoes, yogurt, cinnamon apples, peaches, green beans, bananas. We'll see how she does!
Anyway, happy birthday Rachel! The next big birthday is one year - oh boy!
