Today we had Avery's 9 month well check visit. She did pretty well; however she showed that stranger anxiety is starting to set in. She cried when she wasn't being held by mama, but calmed down as soon as I picked her up.
Overall the doctor said she looks great and is developmentally on track. She does have a little cold (which we guessed), but she said it's a virus that is going around. She seems to be at the end of it, so we're hoping it clears up soon. Aves got one shot this time around and she calmed down relatively quickly after a quick cry (or loud scream). In her defense, her appointment was right in the middle of her morning nap. I always manage to schedule appts right during the girl's naps, no matter how hard I try to avoid it. Their schedules always end up changing!
Avery is still our little peanut and is measuring on the smaller end of the charts. The doctor said that she isn't worried and anticipates that this will be the new norm for her as it seems to be in her genes. Here are her stats:
Weight: 16 lbs 8 oz (12%)
Height: 26.25 in (12%)
Head: 17.25 in (44%)
A side note and something to be celebrated: Avery slept from 6:45 p.m. last night to 7:00 a.m. this morning! We didn't hear a peep out of her all night long! However, big sis made a surprise visit in our room at 5:30 a.m. because she couldn't find her paci (remember the plastic ring she still sleeps with?)....we can't win. Anyway, I went in to get Aves this morning and she was sitting up, holding onto the crib railing and just staring at the door waiting for us. Sweet girl...it was so adorable I called Jeremy in to see her.
