9 Month Well Visit

It's hard to believe that Caroline is already nine months old! I feel like it was just yesterday that she was a little lump of newborn who did little else besides sleep and eat. Fast forward to now and we've got a crawling, cruising, babbling, finger food eating machine!

We visited with Dr. Ranney today to see just how much Caroline has grown. Here are her stats:
Weight: 19 pounds, 2 ounces (55th percentile)
Length: 28 inches (65th percentile)
Teeth: ZERO!
Developmental milestones: every milestone has been met or exceeded for her age(rooty-toot-toot for Caroline!!)

Dr. Ranney said that since Caroline missed the typical window for cutting teeth, she probably won't get any until she's about a year old. She also said that when they do start emerging, Caroline will probably get them ALL at the same time. Bottoms and tops! That should make for a fun few weeks...

Other than commenting on how bright and sparkly Caroline is, Dr. Ranney didn't have much else for us today. Caroline's eating habits are awesome, so no worries there.
Caroline didn't need any shots either, so that was nice.

Oh, and sleep. Well, I tried to gloss over the fact that Caroline STILL isn't sleeping through the night, but Dr. Ranney wasn't about to let it slide. She gave me a little slap on the wrist for continuing to visit Caroline in the middle of the night. I promised to try harder :)

Here's a pic of Caroline contemplating deep thoughts while waiting for Dr. Ranney to arrive.
