9 Months Old!!!

Allison turned 9 months old on Friday and we had her 9 month checkup yesterday.  The picture below shows what she did most of the day after getting her shots! Then last night we went to watch Daddy, Grammy, and Grampy bowl!

 

 

 

She did really good at the doctors office! She showed the nurse how she walks, she blew kisses to the doctor, she showed him how she hugs and kisses her baby doll and sat still while he examined her.  She even gave him a high five and said bye bye when he was done!!  He gave her the stamp of approval and said that she was pretty advanced (proud mom here)! 

I love going to the doctors to see how she has grown but I hate that she has to get shots. This time she only had to have 2 shots - her Hep B and the Flu shot.  This year they have the flu and swine flu combined into one shot.  Problem is that they have to get it in two doses.  We will go back in a month to get the last dose. 

Surprisingly she did really good when they gave her the shots!! It was different nurses than normal so I don't think she knew they were giving her shots.  Then she saw the needles.  She tensed up her legs and they gave her the shots in the same spots as normal.  She cried for like a second and then looked at me like "what just happened?"  By the time I picked her up off the table she was all smiles again!!!
 
Here are her stats from today:

 

Weight - 21lbs 14.3oz - 89%
Height - 29 inches - 88%
Head - 17 3/4 inches - 78%

 

Here is a list of things that she is doing now that she is a big 9 month old kid! (this is so we can remember when she grows up)

 

• She gives hugs and kisses
• She blows kisses
• She waves and says bye-bye (says it more like buhhh-byeeee - so cute)
• She is walking very good...sometimes running!
• She gives high fives
• She claps
• She calls Scott "Da Da"
• She calls Me "Ma Ma"
• She calls Buddy (puppy) "Pa Pa"
• She tries to say pretty (says "pre..., pre..., pre...")
• She loves to dance (anytime she hears music she starts to dance)
• She loves Dora the Explorer (I don't sit her in front of the TV or anything but we will have it on in the background as she is playing and she goes up to the TV and stares and then dances when they sing)
• She kicks her mini-basketball and carries it all around the room
• She knows how to open and close her computer (on one of her toys)
• She knows what buttons to push when we ask her on her toys
• She eats really well
• She gets really excited and runs to Daddy when he comes home from work
• She loves waving at pictures of herself
• She drinks from a straw cup
• She crawls up stairs (at Aunt Sarah's house, we hide the stairs at home form her!)

 

She is a very happy fun little girl and we love everything about her!!!
