9 month check up

Rachel & I went to see Dr. D today for her 9 month check up. I can't believe it's time for that already! How sad for me - it means I have to go back to work in 3 months *sniff, sniff* Anyway, Rachel is only 19lbs 4oz now and 26.5inches in length. I swear she's longer than that though - I mean, none of her 6 month pants fit her anymore because of the length - guess they can be capri pants now! lol So she's in the 25-50 percentile for weight and 10-25 percentile for height. Dr. D is also going to refer us to a pediatrician because of the brown marks on her legs and other parts of her body. We're not sure what it is but she's had these marks since she was a newborn. I'm still hoping that the sun this summer will fade the marks...but it will be great to find out what they are and if they will go away in time, etc. Other than that, everything is perfect with the little munchkin so we'll go back & see him when she's a year old.

I spoke to him about the amount of food she eats since she loves it so much and he said she's right on target and I shouldn't worry about it. He said she's not too chubby or anything and then he added he would rather see a baby on the chubbier side at this stage because once they get moving around, they tend to lose the weight so it's good to have something to lose in the first place. He makes a good point I guess! :)
