Off the Charts!

Kate had her nine month check up today. I forgot she wouldn't need shots today and had given her Tylenol before the visit. Oops--well, it will help with her teething pain anyway. So, last time she was in the 97th percentile for height. This time she has risen even higher (she is now 30.7 inches). Her height knows no percentile. Her weight is still in the 40s range (18.6 pounds), and her head remains as big as ever at 91%. She didn't even blink when she got her blood drawn--but she really didn't like having her ears and throat examined. She's doing great! Good news--the doctor said to start trying her on a regular formula (just a bottle a day) to see if her body can tolerate it. I'm going to give her one tonight. I hope she's outgrown the milk allergy!

Yay, healthy baby. Big head smart kid. Good luck with the milk.

You'll have to keep us posted on the milk thing. :) She looks tall from the pictures, so I believe she's off the chart! Balloons can be great, unless they pop or fly away! :)

Excellent. I've already contacted some basketball scouts to get the process started.
