9 Months Old

Avery is 9 months old - time is flying by and I need to be better about my blog posts! I want to capture every single possible second with our little peanut because time is so precious!

9 Months Old

Avery had her 9 month Dr's appointment on Monday and she weighed in at 20lbs 9oz (75th-90th percentile), she is 28 inches long (50th-70th percentile) and her head is 17 3/4 round (75th-90th percentile).  She received her final Hepatitis B shot while we were there and Dr. Papaceck was very please with her development.  

Avery is crawling up a storm, pulling herself up, she has started to cruise along furniture, she is eating small pieces of food - blueberries, avocados and cherries so far.  She has adjusted her eating times to align with Mommy and Daddy's meal times.  Takes two naps a day and has unlimited smiles and giggles. She loves bath time, playing with all her toys and standing up in the tub.  We have started to change out her toys to more age appropriate toys - this week she received a piano, baby Einstein music maker, tea pot and stacking blocks.  She tries to play with Brisco every chance she gets and he avoids her every chance he gets - it's a love love relationship for Avery and probably a love hate for Brisco.  He likes running around her fast enough where she can't touch him.  Our monthly photo this month was particularly difficult as he wont sit that close to her anymore. 

Avery had her first ever fever this month which sent mommy into panic mode. I came home from work and you were very warm.  After using the ear thermometer it said your temp was 97.8 so I calmed down, however after another 30 minutes of you being warm and just quiter than usual I did the real deal temp check (you all know what that means) which came to 101.7.  I immediatly called the pediatrician, who advised to give you motrin and check your temp every hour.  The good news is the motrin worked and you slept through the night.  The next morning you woke up with no temp and happy as ever!!
