Emma turned 9 months old yesterday. She went to the doctor today for her check up – everything looks good. She was in a great mood and was laughing and making all sorts of noise in the waiting room. She shredded the paper in the exam room and laughed at herself in the mirror while we were waiting. She got a new book and kept trying to reach for the reflection in the mirror. It was so funny. She only needed two shots today and reacted to those the way she has always reacted to shots – a high pitched scream and a very upset sounding cry. It was not her usual, “mamamamama cry” at all. She recovered quickly and fell asleep in the car on her way home.

Here’s her stats:

Height 27 1/2 inches (50th percentile)

Weight 19 lbs 2 ounces (50-75th percentile)

Head 17 1/2 inches (50-75th percentile)

There are some new pictures up. We took her swimming for the first time on Saturday – she loved the pool! We just went during open swim hours at the gym. The next session of swimming lessons for her age group starts in a couple of weeks, so we’ll sign her up for that. She really does love the water – there are also some pictures of her relaxing in the tub and sporting her mohawk.
