9 Month Ped's Visit

I was looking forward to the 9 month pediatrician's visit because I knew she wouldn't be getting any vaccines done - just the flu shot. Ever since I got an iPhone, it has been super convenient to just jot down questions when I think of them. Here is the list that I've accumulated since her 6 month appointment:

Constipation
Solids
Teeth tongue care
Belly button
How many ounces of milk?
Cheese
Gross motor
What to do in case of allerge rxn
naps
boogers

As you can see I am mostly concerned about what goes in to my kid and how it comes out. And of course the occasional booger. I used to say how even her boogers were so clean and cute, but now, her boogers are starting to look more and more adult (read: nasty). I just can't leave them hanging there - but she can't blow her nose, and my fingers are too big to pick them out... Anyhow, I digress.

After weighing Izzie and measuring her, we discussed my concerns with her weight gain. And my pediatrician assured me that there was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Bigger babies do not necessarily mean healthier babies. Izzie has been making a nice curve since she was born, and she's really leaning out - nothing to complain about. She also did lose some traction in the weight gain area because of all the nasty herpangina a month ago, so long story short, she's doing fine.

In other areas, Izzie is doing great. She can already say umma, ahbba (mom & dad in korean), bye, and I swear I hear her imitating sounds all the time. The pediatrician said that once she gets used to more chunkier textures I can start giving her meat. Although, I'm not sure how soon that would be happening - I tried giving her cheerios last time, and the girl completely protested. She still likes everything puree!

I can't believe the next appointment we have - she'll be 1. Time does fly.
