9 month doctor's appt
Bailey had her 9 month appointment today. She weighed in at 19 lbs 6 ounces (50%), 28.25 inches tall (75%), and 18.25 round head (95%). She still isn't making any attemps at crawling or pulling to a stand but since the boys were both late bloomers, she might fall in that same category. It seems that once they are able to sit up, they are happy little campers for a few more months. She eats sometimes up to 4-6 ounces of baby foods a day and 28 ounces of formula. We are going to try to transition her off the AR formula and add cereal to her bottles instead. She still prefers the thicker liquids but her formula is pricey. She still spits up a whole bottle occassionally but it's not nearly as often as it once was. She has fine blonde hair growing all over her head and now starting to cover her birthmarks on the back of her scalp. Her eyes are still as blue as ever. She is starting to look more like Patrick when he was this age. She crawls/scoots backwards, twirls around on her toosh, and can stand for brief periods while holding on.
