9-Month Check-Up

On Friday I took Daphne in for her 9-month well child visit. The stats:

• Height: 28-1/2" (76th percentile)
• Weight: 20 lb 7 oz (80th percentile)
• Head circumference: 17.3" (51st percentile)

I recently read that 9 months is the peak for baby fat since that's when most babies become mobile. That's probably a good thing for our little chunky monkey!

Overall Daphne got a clean bill of health. Her pediatrician wants us to work with Daphne on making consonant sounds instead of only babbling vowel sounds. It doesn't seem like she should be saying anything coherent for quite some time!
