Today was Zoe's 9-month Dr appointment (well-baby check-up... whatever you wanna call it...). Fortunately she's doing just great, and the doctor gave her (and us) an A+. Zoe weighed in at 16 lbs, 8.5 oz and measured 27 inches long. The Dr gave us 'permission' to start even more true table foods (i.e. whatever we're having for dinner), just pulverized into the mush/tidbits Zoe can handle :), and she warned us to get our house baby-proofed REALLY SOON because it appears that Zoe will be walking in no time :) She also let us know that at the rate Zoe's growing right now, it doesn't appear that she'll hit the 20-lb mark by her 1st birthday, so we have to keep her carseat rear-facing until she hits both of those landmarks :) I'm not in a rush to face her forward anyway- it's safer the way it is now... although I bet Zoe will be excited for her new outlook once she is forward-facing :)
Zoe's loving solid foods these days- the puffy cereal type stuff is great, baby carrots work well as teethers, and yogurt is another new favorite treat. If she could spend the whole day walking, she most certainly would. She walks with our help, or with the help of the furniture, and she even tries getting Roxy to help, but Roxy doesn't have the patience for all the ear- and tail-pulling... we're trying to use sign language with Zoe, so the word "Gentle" is being used a lot when we're playing with Rox :) Today Zoe chased Roxy all over the house - poor Roxy couldn't get any space to herself!
Well I should log off and turn off the computer... the electric bill boogey man is coming to get us!!! (I'm dreading the bill with the increased rates.... blah.)
Take care!
Lisa
