Nine month stats

Audrey had her 9 month dr's appt today. This was unfortunate timing since she is still sick, and she had to get 2 shots. She was not happy. Fortunately, she glared at the meanie nurse who stuck her instead of blaming me. Audrey watched her carefully until she left the room. Of course, Audrey also pursed her lips until she spit at the dr while she was checking inside her mouth (turns out the poor kid also has strep throat again!!). The dr said, "Well, I guess I deserved that."

Audrey actually lost an ounce from when she was at the dr's 1 month ago. I knew she wouldn't have gained as much as expected since she's been sick for a few days, but I thought she would have gained at least some weight. She was 28 inches (75th percentile) and 17lbs, 9oz (25th percentile). When I asked the pediatrician about it, she said she's "likely just settling in to her genetic predisposition".

Bwaaaahhhaaa! Tall and skinny? The pedi has told me this before, and I've laughed each time. A lot. Of course, it would be great for Audrey to be tall and skinny but can we get a little meat around her waist to keep her pants up?

We came home early and she played outside for a while and enjoyed the weather. She then fed Fris a large portion of her dinner. Perhaps this explains the lack of weight gain...
