9 month stats

So Phoebe turned 9 months old on January 20th. We visited the doctor and her stats are:

height: 28.25 inches
weight: 21 lbs., 5 oz.
head: big

Her head size has leveled off, but her weight is now in the 90th percentile! Her length was in about the 70th I want to say, so she continues to be "healthy" size. She doesn't miss any meals.

She learned to feed herself on Christmas Day (a month ago). She had been inconsistently eating a bite here or there, but she figured it out and has been munching away ever since on Kix cereal, Cheerios, graham crackers, regular crackers and even had a cereal bar yesterday (which was quite a mess!). Here's a video of her eating.



She has also learned to wave and clap and loves to do both all the time. She is very social and loves greeting people everywhere we go.

She is trying to crawl, but mostly rolls and pivots to get to things and hasn't figured out how to go forward just yet. We hope it is just around the corner. She does have a lot of weight to push around after all.

She has had a couple ear infections this month (or one that has not gone away). But then Owen, Justin and I have all been sick too. Fun times around here. Stay tuned for more pics and video and some final posts to catch up to the present.
