9 months down!

Whew, the last 9 months have flown by! On Monday Em had her 9 month doc. appointment (no shots this time, thanks goodness). Here's the outcome:
Height: 27 3/4 inches (now somewhere around the 50-75%)
Weight: 17 lbs 1 oz (somewhere around the 50%)
Head: 17 1/2 inches (still hovering around the 25%)
Developmental markers: she's rolling around! She reaches for things, helps us feed her by putting the spoon in her mouth on her own, she dances to music (very funny to watch, I should get some video to post...), and she loves to look at her reflection. I'm not sure this last one is a developmental thing or just her realizing how cute she really is :)

-> So basically she's slowing down and letting her body catch up to her head, ha! This is totally normal, it's apparently just like when we as adults decide to go on a diet. We get more exercise (she's rolling around and reaching and just very active) and we slow our eating (she's not eating as often as she used to).


Here's a few cute pics of some of the things she's been up to lately:


Hanging with Daddy


Visiting with Uncle Scotty

Going swimming with Mommy! Yep, we signed up for Parent/Child swim classes which begin April 15th!
She's trying out new bath hairstyles::We saw the Easter Bunny!
And last but not least, she's partyin' with her friends! Here is Em and her friend Ella at Ella's 1st birthday party:


Thanks for stopping by and checking in on Emer!
