Yesterday was Madison's 9 month birthday so we celebrated it by taking her to the 9 month check up... After 45 minutes or so of wait in the crowded waiting room we went to see Dr. Madi. Well, her height and head measurements were increasing nicely, but her weight apparently has fallen off the nice growth chart arch... She only gained about a pound since her 6 month check up... Kind of crazy because a lot of people and even we, thought she was on the chubby side... Anyways, now I need to increase her food intake amount, but other than that she is doing spectacular!! Dr. Madi gave me a set of questions to answer for her 10 month check up at the end so when we were at Panera afterwards and Madison was sleeping I was reading the questions over and I can already answer 'Yes' to almost all the motor skill related questions! Very cool! It seems that she is a bit slow on the communication skill area though... Maybe because of two languages that she is hearing daily!? Oh well she still has a whole month to work on it and that is a long time for quick progressing babies.

I took these pictures last week but I didn't have any pictures to post from the 9 month check up so here you go!
Did the doctor say that the reason she didn't gain a lot of weight is that she started crawling? I've heard that a lot of babies who are chubby slim down once they become mobile. Maybe that's all it is.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point! but the doctor told me I should be giving her 5oz per meal and I wasn't so not eating enough is part of a reason... but she is definitely much more active now so yeah burning more calorie for sure:-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the 9 month check-up went well. I'm sure with the extra amount of food that she'll put more weight on in no time. You'll have to get that wave on video.
