Additional 9 month fun...

I never remember to update her stats and all the 'mundane' stuff. Well, it's not mundane, it's just stuff I take for granted and will eventually forget.

So, she had her 9 month appointment on Monday (the 23rd) and she weighed in at 17 lbs. 12.5 oz., with 17.5 cm head and 27 inches in length. The nurse said we should take her to Vegas with the triple 7's and all. We told her she's already been kicked out of a casino, and she'll have to wait until she's 21. She's running between the 25th and the 50th percentile for all her stats. Works for me.

Dr. Hokie says she's cleared to eat "pretty much everything" as long as it's cut into teeny tiny pieces as choking hazards are the biggest issue right now. So, now all I have to do is get over the fact that she's grown up enough to eat from my plate.

Currently, here's a list of what she chows down on:
avocados (still not a big fan)
mangoes
rice (brown)
oatmeal (both baby oatmeal cereal and bites of Mommy's oatmeal)
pears (the ultimate "you need to poop so we're feeding you this" food)
bananas (which I learned from Dr. Hokie... green = makes babies poop, yellow, or ripe = stops babies up)
sweet potato
tofu
cheerios
bread (courtesy of Mom at CPK)
tortilla (courtesy of Dad at The Stonehouse)
Peas
Green Beans (originally she HATED it... now, she tolerates it)
apple sauce
yogurt (plain, mixed with a puree)
shredded cheese

I'm sure there's more... I'll try to remember to come back and add to the list.

2 week stats

My, oh my how time flies! 

So, our little chunker is now over 2 weeks old. She was seen yesterday by her pediatrician for her 2 week appointment. She currently weighs 9 lbs. 4.5 oz. (+1lb, 2.3 oz since birth) and is 21.5 inches long (+1.5 inches from birth). 

She continues to eat well, though she's been a bit more fussy. We have to time feedings just right so she's not too sleepy to get an entire feeding, but not so ravenous that she throws a fit and spits up a good amount of what she ate. 

The nights have been relatively good, with 2 nights being the exceptions. She sleeps for 3-5 hour blocks, but grunts and squeaks while she sleeps. I've somehow learned to sleep through the grunting and squeaking, but wake for the crying and rooting (i.e. "I want food" sounds). We're thinking of moving her into her crib this week, as her nursery is so close to our bedroom and with the way she's growing, she'll out grow the bassinet fairly quickly. 

All in all, she's doing fantastic. Pics coming soon.
