9 Months Old

Adelle is a growing little girl. She loves to crawl around, stand next to furniture (or our legs) while pointing to things around the room, babble, scream, giggle, and read books. She also likes to listen to songs being sung to her... sometimes she'll join in! Her favorite foods are fruits: prunes, bananas, apples, and the custard blend by Gerber. She likes her veggies too: squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, beans, peas, and any other kind of veggie that is around. She really enjoys eating them. Brian has even given her a little garlic in her food (the veggies, not the fruits) and she devours it! Thus far the meats have been getting the funny faces. She'll eat them all, but they get the faces throughout the meal. It's actually cute!


We took her to the doctor for her 9 month check up last week. She got her first flu shot and didn't really like it, though once we picked her up she was fine. We think she doesn't really mind the shot part, we think it's the holding down part she doesn't like. Anyway, she is 29 1/4" tall - that is 2 and a half feet people! - and weighs 17lbs 9oz.


Today we went to Adelle's helmet doctor, Dr. Mary. She asked how things were going then measured her head. Adelle needed the helmet because the measurements from the diagonals had an 8mm difference. After wearing the helmet for a little over a month, she has a 5mm difference!! We are so happy!! We aren't expecting her to be done with the helmet soon, or even expect a 1mm change at our next appointment. We don't want to get our hopes up or be disappointed, so we're taking it one appointment at a time!!

Oh my goodness - I love our Sweet Girl!!
