Today was iXy's 9-month well-check.
At 9 months old she...
weighs 17lbs, 1.5 oz (25th %)
is 26 and 3/4 inches tall (25th %)
has a head circumference of 16 and 3/4 inches (10th %)
In comparison, she weighs a little more than X at 9 months, but isn't as tall, and doesn't have as big of a head! Xaris' 9 month stats here.
At 9 months old, ilane...
pulls herself up to standing any chance she gets
is extremely ticklish
loves loves LOVES her mama
is highly entertained by her big sister
wants to eat anything and everything (that we are eating), so far her favorites are avocado, blueberries, applesauce, carrots, yogurt, pizza, crackers, waffles, peaches....the list really goes on and on. She likes puffs and other baby "snacks" ok, but it is not her preference, particularly if she has a puff in her hand and mama has pizza in her hand...and she decides mama has the better end of the bargain. She's also had frozen yogurt, pickles, tomatoes, peas, green beans, tortillas, toast, and who knows what else I'm not remembering at this point. We don't have a very picky eater at this moment in time, and she is known to start squawking at whoever is holding her if she doesn't get at least every other bite of whatever they are eating. (Apparently I did the same thing when I was a baby).
At 9 months old, she likes playing duplos, blocks, kitchen/play foods, rapunzel and babies, and anything else with Xaris.
Our big 9 month old...
is good at scooting
will crawl until she gets too excited and reverts to scooting
has the most darling smile with 2 (almost...maybe 1.75?) teeth
laughs and laughs while watching her family members play
loves the water--baths, kiddie pool, swimming, everything
has not yet had her hair cut
has completed one session of swimming lessons
plays well in the church nursery
says "ma ma ma ma" and of course she means me!
wears size 12-18 months now, pretty consistently
is fascinated with the computer, iphone, ipad, etc.
has been to her first baseball game, first mission trip, and first trip to the zoo this spring.
has light brownish highlighted hair, which looks red in the sunlight.
