Update on Miss Sarah

So Sarah had her 9 month well-baby checkup today (even though she's 10 months old).

She's 28 inches long (50th percentile) and weighs 17 pounds 10 ounces (25th percentile). Her head measures 45 centimeters (50th percentile).

I was concerned about her weight. The doctor (who we LOVE) said that as long as she isn't vomiting or spitting up or having diarrhea (or has had a history of those) then there isn't anything we can do. We can't force-feed her - she just tells us she's "Ah Dun" (usually at top volume) as she shoves the food away. She'll just be a "slender" baby! She's healthy and smart and that's all that matters!

The doctor did see FOUR teeth coming in through her top gums!! No wonder she's been a little cranky!! We saw 3 swollen spots but never saw the 4th! He could already see the tips of 3 teeth and could see the white tip of the 4th almost through...said it should be out completely in the next week or so. The poor baby!!

She also got her last Hep B shot and her finger pricked to check her iron level - which was normal.

Now we're all set until March 11th when she has her 1 year checkup! Yay Sarah!!
