Growing and growing....

Riley Kate had her 9 month check up yesterday. She is doing so well and growing so fast, we couldn't be happier and more blessed! We checked off all the typical things that babies her age should be doing.. - picking up toys and hitting them together, - eating, - picking up food in a raking motion, - eating - occasionaly using her pincher grasp, - oh and more eating!!! haha Seriously you have to cut the girl off...because as long as she is sitting at the table, she thinks she should be eating! But it's okay...it means she's healthy and growing...right?? Anyway, weigh in time came and she was 19 pounds 11 ounces and 27 inches long (both are in the 50th percentile). Whoohoo! So, I did a little comparing, and Avery's height and weight at the same age was 17 pounds 5 ounces and 27 inches long. Pretty crazy huh? They were the same length but 2+ pounds different. The visit was pleasant since we did not have to get shots!! YAY! Dr. Phillips said we could start adding yogurt and soft cheese (like cottage cheese) to her diet. She is such a great eater and acts like everything tastes like chocolate! She hasn't ever turned her nose up at anything (knocking on wood) and that makes me happy. I've forgot how easy it is to feed babies...I mean I've got a toddler who wants to eat pancakes and waffles for every meal, so a variety of foods almost has me stumped! So we are exploring new foods and it's fun!
