9 Month Check Up

Lydia had her 9 months check up on Wednesday of this week. She weighed in at 16lbs 4 oz and 27" tall. The nurse said she is no longer in the 10th percentile for her height but is now in the 25th. Which is great. She is still in the 10th for her weight but she said that she is following the growth curve perfectly for weight so that is great.

Lydia only had to get one shot this time; the HIB shot. She has always done really well up until the actual shot and has even had a shot that she didn't cry for but this time as soon as the nurse came over to her she knew what was about to happen so she started to cry right away and tried to roll away from her. I had to hold her still so that could give her the vaccine. She did fine afterwards though and had no problems with it at all.

Here is a chart of her growth since birth:

Birth: 6 lbs 12 oz; 17.75 in.
2 months: 10 lbs 1 oz; 21 in.
4 months: 11 lbs 15 oz; 23 in.
6 months: 13lbs 11 oz; 24 3/4 in.
9 months: 16lbs 4 oz; 27 in.
