9 months old

Fiona hits the big 0-9 today (months that is). The time has gone so quickly. Daddy daycare is in full swing for the summer and both are enjoying their time together. Fiona is rolling over like crazy now...back and forth and back and forth. She loves to sit up and play on the floor and her favorite sleeping position is on her side. We are trying to encourage her to crawl and she seems to be headed in that direction. She is also starting to stand but doesn't pull herself up to standing or push into a sitting position just yet.

We went to the doctor last week for her checkup and she passed. The only thing that the doctor was still concerned about was her weight. Fiona had great weight gain from 6 to 9 months but her weight gain from 3 to 6 months was low (according to the growth charts) so she is still just a petite little girl. We aren't particularly worried but we have increased her feedings again and she keeps on eating. Apparently, Fiona has been hungrier than she led us to believe. Stats from 8 months 3 weeks:

Height:27 3/4" (50-75)
Weight:15 # 1.5 oz (<5)
Head:17" (25-50)
