A mini Rachel post:

Rachel Milena

~9 Months~

I took Rachel in for a 9 month weight check. We decided to forgo her well check, but wanted to make sure her weight was still on the rise. I anticipated that it would be good, and it was. She weighed in at 15 lbs 3 oz. This puts her just below the 5th% I believe. She is also 27 1/4 inches long. I was really not worried, but it felt good to hit the 15lb range...why? I don't really know. This weight thing means less and less to me, but I want to record it for posterity. She is still the smallest baby for her age that I know, and I couldn't care less :)

In this ninth month we have cut out a feeding and have decided to dive head first into table foods. I have discovered that this girl loves to eat! She has been a good eater from the start, but now she is experiencing table foods...and it is a success! She likes peas, black beans, cheese, and carrots. We will continue to add foods to this list. Oh and the other day I had a piece of chicken and she went after it with vengeance. She took several little bites so that may be something that we try in the near future.

I know, it's scary how much they look alike,

the point of this picture is that you can see her teeth.

Look closely at the bottom gum.

Look how big she is getting!

She has done a few free stands (3 seconds is her record).
