Gianna Update
Wednesday we had Gianna’s 9 month well check. She’s doing great! She gained 5 lbs in the last 3 months to bring her up to 17 lbs 6 oz–right on the 25th percentile–this is “normal” for our kids! Adam and I were starting to think she was getting a little chunky! She’s right on track though. I’m amazed at how quickly babies gain weight with formula.
About a month ago she started army crawling to get places. Now she’s darting everywhere in a full crawl and pulling up to see what’s on tables and chairs and everything in between. She’s clapping and imitating our sounds. She’s opening our kitchen cabinets and pulling EVERYTHING out. She has fully reached what I call the puppy stage–chewing on shoes, playing with every particle on the floor, and going for Therese’s and Fulton’s scraps under the table. I had almost forgotten how cute they are at this age. We see her dimples all the time because she’s always smiling. Therese is strong enough to carry her now from place to place. However Gianna is usually holding on for dear life when she does! Fulton makes every attempt to play with his baby sister and she does adores him–must be his huge puppy dog eyes. And it looks like she’ll outgrow the baby food before Adam.
