Sorry it has been a bit for another blog update. Holiday time is crazy for everyone, but I have found it particularly busy now that Maeve is able to crawl around and pull herself up. So this post is a bit lengthy, you are forewarned! I will give you her 9 month update, then tell you the other fun stuff we have been up to.
So at Maeve's 9 month appointment with the pediatrician, she, of course, got measured. So here are the stats!:
Height: 30 inches (75th%)
Weight: 17lbs 2 oz (25th%)
Head circumference: 17 1/4 inches (50th%)
She still is in 9 month cloths but is fitting into 12 month as well. The doctor told us to start trying some meats, so we had some meatballs and some ground up chicken. Both were a hit! She is also starting to eat some dairy. The big take home messages were to help her learn through reading and safe exploration. Safety was also a big send home message. She is picking things up and able to move about, so she is going to get into things. We have to go through the house on our hands and knees and explore before she does. So here are some pictures from her 9 month photo shoot!
