Sophie's 9 Month Check Up

Sophie went to the doctor on Monday for her nine month appointment (yes I know she is almost 10 months) and everything is looking great. She is 18 lbs 3.5 oz and 28 inches tall. That means that she has put on 12 lbs 2.5oz and 9.5 inches since she was born. She was in the 75th percentile for everything at her 6 month appointment but she has now backed off a bit and is in the 50th for her height and 25th for her weight. I guess when they move to solid foods they tend to lose weight because the formula is so nutrition packed and they are not getting nearly as much. All in all the doctor thinks she looks great, happy, healthy and cute as ever.

(not this is not Sophie, I just thought it was cute)
I already posted some of Sophie's latest tricks, but here are some more.
Sophie, you are really crawling now and you are starting to explore things beyond the reaches of the living room rug. A week or so ago, you managed to get a hold of the power cord that all of the entertainment center is plugged in to and pull it out just enough to turn it all off. Did you know it takes FIVE MINUTES for the Tivo to turn back on? I think that you just wanted mommy and daddy to stop watching TV and play with you.

You are still mommy's super good eater. You like everything and you are not too messy yet. I think you are starting to figure out that if you drop something on the floor from your highchair that mommy or daddy will pick it up. You love to play with your little pink CareBear. You will dig through your toy basket just to find it. You always stick it's nose in your mouth and try to talk.

You are happy and smiley all the time and sleep though the night every night. Mommy and Daddy are extremely grateful for that. You love dogs and squeal we when you see one. You like to chase Bjorn around in your walker and you occasionally catch him.

Yesterday at Aunt Tara's house you started crawling up the stairs. You made it about three steps before she caught you. Now she has to start putting the gate up on the steps so you can't try to make more getaways.

About a week ago your two top teeth broke through, I haven't taken a picture of them yet, but I will when you can see them more. They are really cute.
I could go on and on, but for now, just know that mommy and daddy love you a lot.

She's so cute. I love that she's getting so busy. It can make lifer harder but it's such a cute age. Love it!
