9 Month Old Appointment


Keeping Aly entertained at the doctor's office...

Alyssa had her 9 month appointment today. They are a little worried about her because she has dropped off significantly on the growth charts. Dallin did the same thing but he ate food....Alyssa does not. The doctor said she looked great besides that, and we just need to try to get her to eat different foods and I have to eat more food. We had to wait a long time today, and Dallin was a little wild. Doctor's offices are just hard with kids, but I am glad she is a happy little girl! It's amazing how fast time goes with more than one kid. She does so many new things every day. She tries very hard to keep up with Dallin. She is all over the place and never stays still. Alyssa is great at playing by herself, which is great because Dallin thinks he needs all the attention:) She is just growing up so fast!

Her stats:
Weight: 16 lbs 4 oz (8%)
Height: 26 inches (5%)
Head: 17 (25%)

I just looked over Dallin's records because he was so small too, and they weighed the exact same at their 9 month old appointments! However, Dallin was almost 3 inches taller. It seems weird to me because Alyssa feels so much bigger than I remember him, but I guess she's not.

Aww, she's adorable playing peekaboo. If you figure out the secret to getting her to eat more, let us in on it - getting Ella to take 5 bites of anything is cause for celebration around here! Anyway, best of luck with your peanut - we're right there with you. :)
