9 Month Update

Kaitlynn had her 9 month doctor visit today. She weighed 21 lbs 12 oz and measured 27 3/4 inches long. Those measurements as well as her head circumference all came in at the 90th percentile. (Compare that to Connor at this age...he was 26 lbs and 29 inches which was off their standard charts, ha!)

I was recently feeling a little guilty about not scheduling 9 month pictures for Kaitlynn...not because I think we need them, but because I got them for Connor at this age. And it's a great age for some precious pics! But then we were so lucky to visit Aunt Amanda last week and she took so many pics of Kaitlynn. They turned out awesome! This was one of my favorite.



Just in the past week, Kaitlynn has been doing so many new things. She pulled up for the very first time right after we got back from our Virginia trip. I'm pretty sure she learned that trick from her buddy Alex because he's pulling up all the time. And then just this week she officially said her first word. She says "Buh Bye" as she waves when you enter or leave the room. At first I thought it was my imagination but then Jeff and I both noticed it on separate occasions. And one more thing, she has developed a new favorite food. Chicken! It started with Chick-fil-A nuggets last week, and then last night Jeff grilled some chicken breasts and she devoured that as well. At least it's something easy and readily available!

  1. It won't be long before "pulling up" becomes "taking steps." Can you believe how quickly it goes by?

    I hope you can get a video of the "bye-bye" with the wave. That's such a sweet milestone!

  2. She is SUCH a big girl, pulling up and reaching her milestones. What a big girl. And those perfectly round cheeks and big blue eyes make for a great picture any time. Just precious, precious, precious!

  4. Those pictures turned out so great. I cannnot believe all that she is doing - eating table food! Good girl. Maybe she will be a good eater. Isn't it amazing what a healthy girl she is and she was so little bitty in your tummy?
