9-month check-up

Aubrey had her 9-month check-up on 11.06.09. She weighs 17 lb. 4 oz (25% percentile) and is 27 inches long (30% percentile). She still has a large noggin', which is 44 cm (70% percentile). It's getting harder and harder to take her to the doctor because there is so much waiting. Keeping a 9-month old entertained for 20 minutes between measurements and actually seeing the doctor is no easy task. Luckily, she was entertained for a while by kicking and tearing the paper on the exam table. When the doctor finally came in, she did her exam and said everything looks great. There was some concern over the continuous faucet Aubrey's nose has become (along with the lovely colored stuff draining from it) over the past few weeks, but she said since Aubrey seems to feel fine, she wouldn't start any antibiotics for now. She said she seems to be right on track in her milestones and growing perfectly. The nurse came in and gave Aubrey a much dreaded (ok, much dreaded for me and Todd) flu shot and sent us on our merry way. So, she is good to go until her next visit, which is scheduled on her 1-year birthday. I can't believe that was close enough to schedule. It's going to be here so soon!
