Eliza's 9 month doctor visit

Eliza went to her 9 month check-up on Tuesday. We were initially really irritated because her doctor's office changed her appointment and then never called us to tell us they'd rescheduled her. They did work her in, but I think this just underscores our resolve to find Eliza new pediatrician soon.

Eliza has grown to 28 1/4 inches tall, which is 60-something percentile, and 22lbs. 5oz, which is 90th percentile. So, not quite as tall for her age, but still just slightly less heavy. We were told to give her at least 3 bottles a day, with a goal to have her totally off of bottles and onto sippy cups by 12 months. Still no milk, eggs or nuts. So I guess cake is out. Bummer.

After the doctor, we went to Babiesaurus to get a babyproofing item we really, really need. Since Eliza has started pulling up on furniture and attempting to cruise, she's bumped her head on the table a couple of times. We decided it was finally time to get corner guards. It was either that or a helmet. We decided the table bumpers would be more attractive (but only slightly). Eliza loves the bumpers, but perhaps too much. Check out this video we took Tuesday night.

  1. Who knew that table bumper guards could be used as teething toys!
