9 month checkup

On January 27th, Stella had her 9 month doctor's visit.

She now weighs 16lbs 9.9ozs and is 27.2" tall. The doctor said that she, like most babies had a slight dip in her weight chart trend but is starting to pick up speed again. 

She was glad to hear there was no shots this time but did have to get her finger pricked to give blood. All of her hemoglobin, lead, iron and CBC levels were perfect.

Her developmental milestones: pulling up to standing, sitting on her own, stranger anxiety and recognizing familiar faces; are also right on track. It's hard to believe her next checkup will be for 1 year!
