Alissa’s nine month checkup (and some random pics)

Alissa was 16 lbs, 6 oz (10th percentile), 25.75″ long (4th percentile) at her nine month appointment yesterday. This is down from the 25th and 10th percentile numbers from her six month appointment. Not to worry though, Dr. Langston said she’s doing fine and that he won’t really be concerned at all until she’s two years old. Interestingly, her head was 17″ in circumference which is at the 25th percentile. So I guess she’s short, chubby, with a huge head!

Despite her top-heavy weight distribution, she’s been crawling and climbing and pulling herself up with abandon. So far, no major falls or anything, but she’s getting harder to keep track of. I have a feeling she’ll be walking before her 1st birthday so we’ll enjoy this time before she starts running around the house.

Anyway, here are some random pictures that I had on my phone and on other miscellaneous memory cards that I thought were worth sharing.
