Today was Lilly's 9 month check-up. She weighed in at 15lbs. 1 oz and is 27.5 inches long. She remains in the 3rd percentile for weight and is in the 50th percentile for length. She met all of her 9 month milestones (sitting unsupported, transferring objects from one hand to the other, playing pat-a-cake or peek-a-boo, using her thumb and index finger to pick up small objects, stand while holding on to someone or something, etc.). So, even though she still remains "small" she is right on track developmentally.
We have had a couple of rough nights this last week. Two nights ago I made the mistake of eating spicy chili for dinner (kudos to my husband for the outstanding recipe). Lilly woke up screaming twice throughout the night and finally I put two and two together and realized that she had an upset stomach from the food I was eating. Only one other time has she been affected by the foods I eat so I typically don't even worry about it. I guess I'll think twice from now on. Then, last night Lilly finally cut her top tooth. She was pretty fussy most of the evening and had a slight temperature. Even through the discomfort she still managed to sleep from 7:30 pm - 8:00 am. So far today she seems to be in no pain so that is good!!
Today is also a very special day for our family. My brother, who is in the military, is coming home!! He is currently stationed in Guam and we haven't seen him in 2 years. Of course he hasn't met Lilly yet so we are excited for an emotional reunion. My mom just called and said that his flight just arrived into KCI so we should be getting to see him within the next hour or so. He will be home for 2 1/2 weeks so we are hoping to enjoy every minute!
