9 month checkup and all is well... well, sort of...

Hannah went to Dr. Boustany this week for her nine month checkup. She has been teething, so she had the usual symptoms of diarrhea, runny nose, cough and congestion. The doctor didn't seem interested in that stuff, so I was glad that she didn't make more of an issue with that, since last time she said that these symptoms are NOT related to teething. Funny... she pushed through two teeth that week, and now here we are again with similar symptoms and she's pushing through two more on top. Maybe I should have gone to med school.

Anyway, all her vitals were good. She is 31 inches tall, which is well above the 100th percentile. 31 inches is the average (50%) of most 15 month olds!! HA~ I got a tall one! She is 19lb 7oz, which is in the average range for her AGE, but it's only about the 10th percentile for her height. So this had the doctor a bit concerned. When I told her that Hannah wasn't taking as many bottles as she used to because all she wanted was solids, she told me that we needed to give her the bottle first, then offer solid food. She had her tested for anemia, and the results came back borderline. So all we have to do is offer her one additional bottle a day, or just make sure she has 20-24 oz of formula in a day. I sure wish someone would have given me those numbers from the get go... it would have made it easier to figure it all out!

So here she is... all ready to go to her Nanny's birthday party. She's wearing an outfit that Tammy bought her and she even has the shoes to match! Poor thing.. you can tell she doesn't feel well in this picture. Those darn teeth!
