Our Social Butterfly

Kate had her 9 month pediatrician appointment today and she did so well!  She's shown a few signs of not wanting to be held by strangers but she didn't seem to mind the nurse or her doctor one bit!

She weighed 20 pounds 6.5 ounces (85th percentile for weight) and was 28 1/4" tall (70th percentile for height).  Kate is growing just as she should be!

Remember the last appointment we were at?  Kate tore the bed paper to shreds??  Well, this appointment she was much more mobile!  I'll tell ya, if you can get two and a half weeks of crawling under your belt you are good to go!  She is quick!

9 month old Kate! (And Mommy.)

Making her way over to the cotton balls and tongue compressors.

The nurse was nice enough to let us play with a tongue
compressor!

And believe me when I say I think it was a highlight of
Kate's day!

Do you want to play with this here tongue compressor, Mama!?

Still at it on our way home.
(Note: we put the compressor playing on hold for the car ride.)

I cannot believe our next appointment with Kate's pediatrician will be for her 12 month check-up!!!  How is that even possible?!
