On May 26th Emma had her 9 month Dr.'s appointment. She hadn't been since her 6 month checkup so we were very excited to see how she was doing. She didn't have to get any shots (YEAH) but she did have to have her finger pricked so that they could test her for anemia. They had the results for us before we left and Emma is getting plenty of iron so that is a blessing! :) She was very unhappy with the Dr. and nurses though - she didn't even want them listening to her heart - she was sooooo dramatic. It was kind of funny.
The only concern I had and which we talked to the Dr. about was her weight. She was 15 pounds, 2 ounces and 26 1/4 inches. This means that she had lost weight since her 6 month checkup and she was 3 months older!! So we talked to the Dr. a lot about her diet and what we can do to help her gain some weight. We have been cutting back on the nursing and introducing a lot more solids. She is eating new fun things like yogurt, cheese & avocado. She is having a fun time with it and enjoying getting to try new things! We go back to the Dr. on the 26th to check her weight and make sure that she is making progress. I will be sure and keep you updated.
