Jordan turned 9 months old yesterday. I can’t believe how quickly she’s growing up! Her teeth are still slowly making their way through her gums, and they don’t seem to be giving her as much trouble, so that is a blessing. I had a million things I kept thinking “I need to blog about that”, and now that I have the time, I can’t seem to remember what they were! I do remember one thing- Jordan did something cute at dinner, but first let me tell you that Jordan has been playing a lot with her shape sorter she got for Christmas. She loves “putting” things right now, so that is a perfect toy. Anyway, we played a lot with it today, and yesterday as well. Okay- back to dinner. I had some shells and cheese (Gerber Graduates food) for her, and some green bean mush. I gave her a shell, and she sucked the cheese off, and spit out the shell. Then I put another one on the spoon, but she grabbed it off the spoon, put it in her mouth, again sucked the cheese off, and took it out of her mouth, but kept it in her hand. She then reached for the bowl, so I brought it a little closer to her to see what she would do. She put the shell back in the bowl! It was so funny to watch. I guess that was her way of saying she didn’t want anymore. Funny girl.
So yesterday we went to the doctor for her 9 month check up, and she now weighs 18 lbs, 9 oz, so she hasn’t gained all that much weight. She’s gained 1 lb, 7 oz since her 6 month appointment, and is in the 50th percentile. She also grew an inch since 6 months, and is now 27 1/4 inches long, and again, in the 50th percentile. Her head circumference is also in the 50th percentile. So basically we have a very average baby! The doctor was pleased with her growth and with her motor skills. She thinks Jordan should be sleeping all the way through the night without waking up, but oh well. I’m okay with her waking up 1-2 times, so that’s all that matters! Her ears were clear this time- hooray!! Oh, and she is now off Zantac! Her tummy seems to be just fine without it, so hopefully we won’t have a recurrence of the reflux.
I can’t think of any of the other things I was going to blog about, so I guess it’s bedtime! I’ll try to post some pictures this weekend, but my photo software is on the fritz right now, so I’m having some issues.
