9 Months!

Our little lady love is 9 months old today!

Yesterday she had her well baby visit and Auntie Sara came along to check out the stats and help hold Ol' Squirmy in the waiting room. Elizabeth was on her best behavior and for the first time ever, didn't pee or poop on anything or make a mess out of herself. She did however, put up a stink about having her height measured.

At nine months, she weighs 19 pounds, 12 ounces, which puts her in the 70th percentile. She's 27.5 inches long, so in the 50th percentile. Her nogging is 46 cms around, which puts her in the 90th percentile. She's such a Ford. The doc was pleased with all of her development, and remarked on how strong she is and how happy she seems. So, pat on the back for me! She didn't have any real suggestions for me, except to keep doing what we're doing. As she was leaving, she said to Ellie "you'll probably walking when I see you next!" (at a year.) I replied that she shouldn't count on it. We are still not crawling around here, but then again, Ellie seemed like she was going to roll over for a full month before she actually did. She just needs to move those dang hands!

This morning I dropped the family off at the airport for their trip to the hot, humid Midwest (Al Roker said Minneapolis was supposed to be 98 degrees today. And it's a nice, thick, wet heat. YUM!) Hopefully mom will survive without her little girlfriend. Hopefully I'll survive without mom! Today Grandma Eileen is coming down for swim class, and then we're going furniture shopping. We need to get a new entertainment center so we can move all of the electronics to a safe spot in case Ellie does someday decide to crawl.
