Nine Month Appointment

Today was Elizabeth's nine month check up with her pediatrician. As it was at an odd time this morning, Sean stayed home and was able to do some work from home and look after Elizabeth. This picture I snapped moments before I walked out the door. It is too cute for words!

Working hard on our laptops
So here are the fun statistics that probably only the grandparents care about, but they are here for your reading pleasure as well. Yep, she's still a big girl! Her doctor thinks that as she is becoming more mobile, her weight will start to taper off....we'll have to wait and see.
Weight: 23.1 lbs 97th percentile
Height: 28.3" 90th percentile
Head: 17.5" 75-90th percentile
The only measurement that we think may be sketchy is the height. Sean was standing to the nurse and helping her out when the measurement was taken and thinks Elizabeth's legs were not straight...entirely possible. He seems to think she had another inch on her height to make her around 29 inches. Either way, she's a tall girl!

Too cute! James has this laptop toy and was pretty obsessed with it for a while. He'll still pull it out every so often. He likes to dance to the music!

Those height measurements are always so inexact....my friends have talked about that before. They just quickly draw two lines and could easily be off by half an inch or more!

A month ago, Drew weighed less than 22 pounds....so Elizabeth probably weighs more than him. What a big girl! I love the cute laptop picture....

Love the picture! 9 months already? She is growing so fast! (By the way - she is bigger than Melissa was at her 15 month appointment!)
