We braved the slushy roads yesterday afternoon to get to Charlotte's 9 month check-up. She's average for height at 26" and weighs only 16 lbs. 10 oz. So between 6 and 9 months, she gained almost 1 1/2 lbs. The dr. wasn't concerned; he took one look at her and said she has plenty of fat :) But just like Lucas, from 6-9 months, she went from the 50th percentile in weight to about the 15th. No shots, so that was nice! And because she still has constipation issues, we're cutting out all cereal for now to see if that helps. Poor kid - she loves her some cereal!
She's been eating 3 meals a day for about a month now and is finally crawling ALL over the place. For about 3 weeks, she could crawl but preferred to sit and play and only really crawled to get something she really wanted. The past week or so, there's been no stopping her. She's on the move... And always towards something she shouldn't have... Electrical outlets, steps, wrapped presents under the tree... When we tell her "no", the lower lip starts to tremble and then she cries. Just like a girl! And she lifts up her arms when she wants o be picked up...
She's really starting to come into her own personality. Squealing and laughing and giving funny looks. It's funny how one kid can be completely different from another. By the time Lucas was 9 months, he could stand up and cruise around tables, sofas, etc. He was walking full time by a little over 10 months. While he was also constantly on the move, he was much more "business-like", always on a mission. The word "no" didn't phase him one bit. Lottie is much more content to people watch and sit with toys.
She loves baths, her big bro, the cats, and torturing me by still getting up several times each night. She has 2 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth, but 3-4 more top ones are on the way in.
Lucas is enjoying her more now that she will follow him and can actually do things. However, he still does NOT like to share with her!
