I cannot believe she's 9 months old already. OK, what I really can't believe is that she's 9 months old and only slept through the night 2-3 times. UGH.
But, enough of that - here's her stats:
26 3/4 inches tall
15 0.8 oz.
16.25 head circumference
She's finally on the chart for head circumference (3rd percentile) and is 5th percentile for everything else. She's tiny, but mighty. She's on track for all her developmental milestones.
No shots this time, but they did a finger prick test for iron and she's a little low (they want 11, she was 9.75 or some such). Not a big deal, but she is already constipated and taking iron will not help that. We have to lay off the bananas, increase her prune intake and see if she'll start drinking water (she is not a fan of juice) to try and alleviate the issue. She's pooping once a day but they are hard as rocks.
Anyway - all in all we're doing OK. Kieran has overcome his bout with pinkeye, Amelia no longer has thrush and I am clearing up the yeast infection that Mia gave me (thanks, baby girl). Ken is finally back to exercising after breaking his ribs though they still seem to pain him a bit. Been a bad year for us medical-wise. I'm hoping that turns around.
Doctor wants me to try and transition Amelia to a lovey to see if that will help her start sleeping through the night. I'm hopeful and will try it all. Most nights she's only up once, but lately she's been up a few times. I think she may be teething, but she's so even-keeled during her awake time it's hard to tell (Kieran was heck on wheels all the time when teething).
We're just about ready to sign Kieran up for his summer camp - Karate and swimming. He's very excited. I'll be happy that both kids will be near the office and I won't have to do the crazy running around to pick them both up on nights when Ken works late (or is away at a conference). That's enough for now - I promise more stories of kids later.
Love to all, blog again sometime.
