We had Elizabeth's nine month check-up today. Miss E tips the scales at 16 pounds, 4.5 ounces and is 28 inches long. I was a little concerned about her slow weight growth, but Elizabeth is definitely following her growth curve! Her pediatrician also said that when babies start feeding themselves (which is normally around 1 year), their weight gain slows. Since E is very independent and would much rather feed herself, this is partially why she's not gaining as fast.
She also had to get a shot and some blood drawn. I got to hold her while the nurse did both. And Elizabeth fought her tooth and nail, leaving the nurse to comment on how strong Miss E is.
We rounded out the day with a trip to Chick-fil-a, where Elizabeth downed 2 nuggets AND a French fry! A great way to end a stinky doctor's visit. :)
