(Almost) 9 Months Old!

We just got back from Lucy's 9 month appointment...Like at 6 months, she's in the 60% for weight, coming in at just over 19 pounds. She is 27 inches tall and only in the 34% there...but she's a growing girl so no worries! She'll probably be taller than her momma some day...We had to wait quite awhile today - in the waiting room she played at the toy table - this was the first time she was big enough to do so! She walked all around the table and had a fun time playing!
She had to have her finger pricked today to have her iron checked ("right on the bubble" - we were told to give her more iron-rich foods...) and she had to have just one shot (which was more than enough for Miss Lucy girl!) - the Hepatitis B Vaccine. The only side effect is a low grade fever so I'm sure she'll be just fine for all of her Christmas celebrations!

Lucy has already received a couple of Christmas gifts! Here she is about to open one from Daddy's friend, Pauly...he got her two new outfits!! She especially loved taste-testing the wrapping paper!

She also got a gift from her W-F babysitter, Tammy...but mommy stole all the fun and opened it while she was asleep! She loves it, though...a xylophone fish! She's a big fan of chomping on the starfish wand that you're supposed to make the music with...

Just standing around!
