9 Month Stats

Layla had her 9 month appointment today and her doctor said she's doing well. She needs to work on learning to crawl and pull herself up on things, but that will come with time I'm sure. She's not meeting many of the 9 month milestones, but they do take into consideration that her adjusted age is 7 months. Over time, as she approaches age 2 she should catch up more with a full term baby her age.

Here are her stats (based on a full term 9 month old):
Height: 27" (25%)
Weight: 14 lbs 13 oz (less than 3%--really close to being on the charts)
Head Circ: 44.1 cm (50%)

Since I compared my 6 month stats with her 8 month, I'll do it again:-). They're pretty close again. At 7 months I was 14 lbs 7 oz and 26.25".

Carter just started crawling TODAY at almost 12 months so don't worry...she will do it all in time!

Yea for Carter crawling!! Yeah, all kids do things at their own pace, but I just feel bad at the doctor when they ask about all these things she should be doing and she's barely doing any!! But I do get told a lot that it's lucky she's not crawling b/c they get into more trouble! :-)
