9 month appointment


I took Sidney in today for her 9 month check up. I was excited that we wouldn't be getting shots, and then was told that she needed a finger prick to check lead levels :( I'm not sure which is worse, shots or a finger prick. Her poor thumb bled for a long time (see the bandage?!). Other than that, the appointment went well. She continues to be little in that she is 17 lbs 9 oz and 26 1/4 inches long (that puts her in the 25th and 10th percentiles). I have no other reference than Regan's 9 month appointment and by this time, she was already over 20 lbs and 29 inches long! It makes sense now why none of Sidney's 9 month clothes fit her correctly; they're all too big :) Good news in that her ear is clear and we can stop the antibiotic and also do a trial off her reflux medication! Last night we gave her vitamins and that was it, what a relief! She's overall a healthy baby and developmentally right on track :)
