9 Month Well Visit

Layla's 9 month well visit was this week. The visit took place so late into the ninth month because we had to wait until she was well for this appointment to happen :-)

So her stats are as follows: Weight 18lb 13oz (50th percentile), Height 26 inches (12th percentile), and I don't remember the measurement of the head but it was in the whopping 98th percentile. The doctor even re-measured Layla's head because the percentile seemed high...but it was accurate. Yeah for a big brain!!!

I was so happy/relieved about the height percentile because at her last well visit she had dropped to the 1st percentile for height. Dr. Kristin.com had read too much online info on growth restricted babies never reaching their height potential. Needless to say, I am so happy for this growth spurt (that the doctor assured me would happen....yes, I drove her batty about this one)!

The rest of the appointment also went well. Layla is healthy and is hitting all of her 9 month physical milestones. Yeah!!!

Below are pictures of a new game Layla loves to play. She picks up a ball/toy, throws it, crawls towards it, and repeats over and over again. She is so proud of herself when she grabs that ball/toy. Too cute :-) (Notice the pulling up skills that are emerging in the 4th pic!!!)
