mhalebusiness: 9 Months Old!

I feel like I say this all the time, but time sure does fly by fast! Our little Miriam is already 9 months old! She is growing in leaps and bounds and is just itching to be able to chase after her older sister! She pulls herself up on anything that can support her, and sometimes on things that can't support her too! She has learned all too well that our tile floor is hard. Poor baby! Her hair is finally starting to grow in, and just like her Momma is getting curls in the back. I can't wait to see what it looks like as it gets longer! She crawls so fast now that I need to keep tabs on her at all times. I sometimes "lose" her in the house and need to walk around calling her. I usually find her by the baby laughs I hear. She claps and waves as well, but usually needs some others doing the same to help her out.

She went for her well baby check-up and passed with flying colors! She even had a shot and a blood test and only cried a little bit! She weighs in at 16 pounds and 12 ounces (30th % for weight) and is 28 1/4 inches (75th% for height). She is tall and skinny, just like her sister is. The doctor thinks she is a bit on the light side and needs to add some weight, but overall, Matt and I think she is doing just fine! She eats 3 meals a day as well as nurses 5-6 times in a 24 hour period. Yes, that does mean 1-2 times overnight, but since she eats so well at that time, and is a bit on the small side, I don't want to cut her off overnight just yet. I am still able to fall back asleep pretty well and feel rested in the mornings, so no big problems yet! Whole milk is just around the corner....let's hope she drinks it!
