Lydia had her 9 month pediatrician appointment today and it went well! She is 18 pounds, 6 ounces and 27.5 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile on height and weight, and her head is still larger than average, around the 60th percentile.
Developmentally she is right on track, and maybe even a little ahead... Whatever that means :) All I know is that within the past two weeks we have gone from having a bored baby who sat still and whined to one who crawls, pulls herself up to standing, transfers herself from object to object, climbs stairs, frowns and giggles, and goes from room to room happily playing with anything that she can find. She also has started to finally cut her first tooth! It has been a really big two weeks.
Lydia is such a joy to be around lately and she is starting to feel like more of a little companion and less like an adorable, helpless, precious parasite. Tonight David and I went on a real date with our good friends (who are due to have a baby any day now!) and it was a blast! But both of us were so excited to get home to our girl because we had really missed her unique personality and her entertaining company.
I love watching Lydia Grace grow and learn. It is a feeling that I have a hard time expressing, but if you are a parent I am sure you understand.
