Nine-month check-in

Today we took Madeline to the pediatrician for her scheduled nine-month check in. There were no vaccinations today but there was a hemoglobin test, which was just a prick on the finger.

Today Madeline weighed 20 pounds, 9 ounces and is 27.5 inches long (last month she was measured at 27.75 inches - I suspect there will always be a little variance with different scales, different nurses and a squirmy baby). She's put on 10 ounces since her last weigh-in. That's about a quarter-ounce a day over the last 33 days.

Today we got the go-ahead to introduce some meat and dairy products (but still not straight milk) into Madeline's diet. We also will consider eliminating one of her four bottles a day as she gets more of her nutrition from regular foods.
