9-month-old Sarah

Sarah went to the doctor at 9 months and weighed in at 17lbs. 7oz. which puts her in the 25%, which is where she has been since birth. She was 28.75in. long putting her in the 75%, also where she has been all along pretty much. Her head is in the 50%. So she is still tall and skinny with and average sized head...sounds about right.

The doctor said she is low on iron and prescribed her some vitamin drops with iron.
I switched doctors and I LOVE Dr. Ho's office!

Sarah still LOVES her bath. It is probablly her FAVORITE time of the day.

She LOVES Brody. She gets so excited to see him when she wakes up in the morning. I pick her up and right away she starts straining her neck to look around for him.

She doesn't mind her helmet AT ALL.
She crawls EVERYWHERE and gets into EVERYTHING.

She HATES her vitamin drops.
She LOVES her pacifier.

Another funny fact about Sarah. When she first started walking along furniture she could only go left. So she would walk along the fireplace from the right side to the left and then get stuck in the corner of the fireplace. She would have to sit down, crawl to the other side again, and start over. She has since learned to walk to the right so she will not get tease in school. Whew! =)
