Natalie had her 9 month check up last week. Her current stats are:
Weight: 16.2 lbs (approx. 12th percentile)
Length: 26.9 inches (45th percentile)
Head Circumference: 17.6 inches (70th percentile)
Everything is good with Natalie. Even though Natalie's weight is on the low end of the scale there isn't any reason to be concerned. And I'm sure not concerned because this little girl can sure eat and eat and eat just like a teenage boy!
(Don't worry, right after she learned to do this her crib was put down as far as it could go. Don't you just love the crazy nap hair too!)
A few things about Natalie:
- She loves to eat! She doesn't like commercialized baby food and only wants "big people" food and gums it since she doesn't have teeth. She likes to eat anything we do, but she really favors peas and strawberries and absolutely LOVES bread!
- learned how to drink out of sippy cup a little over a week ago. She prefers the sippy cups with straws.
- is crawling around more and faster. She still does her army/inchworm crawl if she wants to get somewhere faster. But she is learning to crawl using one knee and the other foot.
- learned to pull herself up standing about 2 weeks ago. She also learned to get from her stomach to a sitting position about a week and a half ago.
- is VERY social and loves looking and interacting with other children. She is also social with adults too.
- is a little jib-jabber and will babble all the time until she is around a group of people and then she is usually quiet and watches them.
- she is waving more now to others than just to Mike and I.
- is starting to throw tantrums when she doesn't get things her way.
- gives the best loves after waking up in the morning and after naps!
- loves being outside, swinging, and going for walks.
And wandered around the Bean Museum at BYU.
Happy with the goods!
