9 month check up

Addie had her 9 month check up today and Addie is in the whopping 1st percentile in weight, 20th percentile in height and 34th percentile head.  I guess she has a huge metabolism and a big brain! :)  She weighs 14.13 and is 26 3/4 inches.  She is a tad anemic so she has to have iron everyday for 3 months... UG (it smells disgusting and she already doesn't want it) and I have to start my prenates again per doctor so Addie gets iron that way too.  The doctor said its no big deal, but she just wants her iron levels up a little.  Addie had her eyes tested too and she has perfect vision.  They pricked her toe for the anemia test and Addie didn't cry at all!  I was all prepared for tears, but none came! 

Addie is cleared for peanut butter, and the doctor said to start giving her more table food gradually.  I had already started feeding Addie pastas, beans, fresh diced fruit and veggies, so transitioning shouldn't be too hard.  The only shot today was the flu shot and we have to have a second one at the beginning of December, but I talked the doctor into postponing Addie's 12 month check up and shots until mid-January because the last round of shots were so bad on her.  I also didn't want Addie to be sick all through the holidays and her birthday.  

Addie also has started "blowing kisses" at Jarom.  He does it to her all the time and so she will either put her hand up to her mouth and then towards Jarom or will make the kissing noise at him.  She's our little sweetie!

Holy cow! She is a petite little thing like her mama! She will be pretty and dainty just like you! My little porker is in the dang 95th percentile for his height and 75th for his weight!! I think he's going to take after my brothers. :)

She is just too sweet! I wish that Avery, Addie, and Kena could get together again, even better on a regular basis! Avery would LOVE that and so would I!

SHE IS SO LITTLE! I can't believe that she is only 14 pounds! It's good that she is growing and developing and is healthy! I love that little girl!
