9 Months!

Andi is 9 months old today! Yesterday we went to see Dr. Horst for her 9 month well visit, and we are so thankful that again she checks out all healthy :)

Here are her stats:

Height: 27" (30th percentile, down from 45th. She grew about 1.5" in 3 months)

Weight: 18lbs 13.5oz (50th percentile, down from 75th. She gained about 1.5 lbs in 3 months)

Head circumference: 44.4 cm (63rd percentile, up from 55th)

A standard check included a blood test for hemoglobin levels: all in a normal range (14), so she's not anemic. She's also right on track developmentally. We've been enjoying her brabbeling. She says "Mam mam mam" a lot, and I'm looking forward to the time when she knows what that means! In the mean time, we'll work on the word "dada" too :)

Here's her 9 month shot with Slungel:

Big smile, because I've got both my fists full of banana crackers!

Oh the places you will go ... (part II)

Andi got her first passport today .... The world is now open for travel! Wohoo! First trip on the agenda: spending two weeks in the Netherlands with my side of the family for Christmas and New Years.... we can hardly wait to go!

It's a US passport, maybe she'll get a Dutch one too one day :)

Doesn't she look proud?
