9 month check-up

Gwyneth is a happy, healthy, and dare I say, perfect baby girl! Of course, she's absolute perfection to us and her pediatrician agrees! We went for Gwyneth's 9 month check up and she turned on the charm for Dr. Brucker. She has been having some stranger anxiety lately so I was a little nervous but she was all smiles and giggles (until she had to get shots!). Dr. Brucker says she is right on track developmentally and even seems to be a bit ahead of the game socially. She attributes this to the girls being so close together. Gwyneth sees what Annabelle is doing these days and she's doing her best to keep up. She gave us the ok to start Gwyneth on soft table foods. Gwyneth is already starting to plow through the puffs - we went through an entire can yesterday between the girls - so table food will make her very happy.

Here's how Gwyneth is measuring up:

Height - 27 inches (50 -75th percentile)

Weight - 18 lbs 5 oz (25 - 50th percentile)

Who would have ever thought (especially after our little peanut Annabelle) that we'd have a tall girl??? Go GG!!

Miss Gwyneth continues to amaze us every day. She is doing a lot of babbling which now includes "Momma", "Dadda", and "hi". She's waving, clapping and LOVES to dance! She really enjoys all her musical toys and the Sesame Street theme song is the easiest way to get her rockin'. I think her favorite toy though is the remote which her dadda has no qualms about sharing with her. She is our little roley poly - she doesn't like to crawl on her knees yet, but she can roll faster than I've ever seen! She gets where she needs to go and I've even seen her beat out Annabelle to get to a toy just by rolling. I worry she's going to bonk her head on things because she just rolls so fast, but she seems to have it under control. She has strong little legs and can hold herself up against furniture and using our fingers for support. She is starting to get feisty and puts up a good fight when her sister tries to steal her toys but for the most part she's a relaxed, happy, and sweet baby girl.
