9 Months

Claire here. I turned 9 months old this month. To celebrate, I got to go see Dr. Fernando. No shots, at least. I weighed 22lbs. 11oz. and was 29 inches long. Both of those were in the 95th percentile. And Dr. Fernando said my head continues to be way above average for my age. Mommy and Daddy think I'm perfect and will obviously be very smart. I can already say "Mama" and "bye-bye." I also wave to people when I say "bye-bye." I've been eating more and more table foods and it's getting easier because I now have 7 teeth (four on top and three on bottom). All but two came in within 10 days and boy and I ever glad that's over. I've learned to scoot across the floor on my bottom (it's giving me rug burn) and Mommy thinks I'm trying to learn to crawl. She's been trying to teach me, but I'm stubborn. Really, I'd rather be pulling my socks off.
