9 month check up

Delani went for her 9 month check up on Friday. She must already know what happens when we go there. She screamed the moment I put her down on the table. If I wasnt holding her, she was not a happy camper. That is just not Delani at all, she is the happiest baby ever! Anyways, she weighed in at a whopping 18#9 oz(50%) and was 28 in long(55%). Once again, I thought for sure she would weigh more than Ellery at 9 months. Ellery was 18#8 oz(50%) and 29.5 in(95%). Delani must just carry her weight completely different than Ellery did, although Ellery was a bit longer. Delani has quite the pot belly but I must say it is cute as ever. They said that everything looks good and that we could start giving her more of a variety of foods, which we already had. He also said that we could start trying regular milk at 11 months if we wanted too. I'm happy and sad about that. Happy that I won't have to buy anymore formula at $15 a can but sad that my baby is growing up WAY too fast. Delani had to get only one shot. The last time she was supposed to get the hib there was a shortage of it so she had to get it this time. She did really well with it though, she is such a tough little girl! Delani is beginning to take more and more steps at a time. I have been trying to get a video to post but by the time I push record and it actually starts recording she is down already. It won't be long though!! Delani's favorite word right now is "Dada"- No, I don't thinks he really knows what she is saying. She also says "baba" but I have been completely unsuccesful at "mama". She is truly a 'daddy's girl'. She also loves to make the 'raspberry' sound and thinks it is the funniest thing in the world when you do it back to her. She is growing up way to fast (can you tell I'm going through baby withdrawls already?!?)

I am so thankful for my 2 healthy baby girls! (I know they really aren't babies anymore but they are my babies!)
