Two days ago, Ellowyn turned 9 months old.
She's such a bright, happy, easy baby! She sleeps well, eats well, entertains herself easily... I really lucked out with her.
Here are her stats from her 9 month well-check:
Height: 27.5 inches (40th percentile)
Weight: 15 pounds, 2 ounces (3rd percentile)
Head: 45.5 centimeters (90th percentile)
The doctor is a little concerned about her weight being so low. Mira was low too, but never this low. He says it's probably because Ellowyn is so happy playing on the floor, crawling around almost constantly. But it means that he wants to keep a closer eye on her, so rather than waiting till 12 months to see her again, he wants to see her back in 6 weeks. He says it's just a precaution, he's sure she's fine, but he likes to keep closer tabs on the tiny babies.

She's still just got the two teeth, but I can see by looking at her gums that the top ones are on their way.

She's crawling very proficiently now. She still sometimes prefers the army crawl, but certainly not because she isn't *awesome* at crawling on her hands and knees.

Just a couple days ago, I caught her attempting this new trick:
Gonna have to get out the gate pretty soon!
And she still LOVES to eat. She mostly eats what we eat, with only a few exceptions. I'm already having to plan larger meals to accomodate her; sometimes I think she eats more than I do. After eating, her belly is always so distended, she looks like a tadpole. So her low weight is certainly not for lack of trying. In addition to 2-3 solid meals per day, she is still nursing about 6 times daily. Girl loves her some noms.
We tried avocado again recently and got the same reaction as before: hives, this time on the chest. So she really is allergic to avocado. The only other food that she has shown a sensitivity for is egg white, which she throws up every time. I'm hoping she'll grow out of that one.
And she can drink from a sippy cup all by herself now! Watching her do this cracks me up.
