She's Growing!!

My little is nine months as of the 6th and she had her nine month doctor's appointment yesterday.  We always look forward to finding out if she has grown.  This appointment was especially nice because we had no shots :)

We have been working hard the last few months on Ava's eating.  She has never been a big eater and took her time adjusting to and liking solid foods.  She is now down to only three bottles a day and eats three meals a day. I think the improved eating has contributed to her new stats...

  6 months               9 months
13.5oz (5th%)           16.9 (13%)
24 3/4 in (19%)        26 1/4 in (11%)

So yes, she is still short (i can't imagine why) but she is not so scrawny anymore. Maybe someday she will catch up to cousin Sophie.  Today we tried bananas and true to Ava form, she fake choked, then really choked and ended up puking her whole dinner.  Guess We will try again tomorrow.
