9 Months Old!!

I know what you are thinking...2 posts in the same day! I feel the same way! No, but seriously I cannot believe 9 months have already passed! I am starting to feel like she is not a baby anymore because she seems so big to me. We had her 9 month check-up last week and here are her stats:
Length: 28 1/2 in. (75%)
Weight: 18 lbs. 7 oz. (50%)
Head: 43.7 cm (25%)
Basically, she is still long (no longer 90th percentile), average weight, and a small head. I don't believe the small head thing because in every picture it looks way bigger than the rest of her body. By the way, sorry that every picture on here looks the same, but I was getting sick of Blogger and trying to upload pictures. Next time I will have some better ones. Oh and I didn't know how to edit them on Greg's computer.

These are just a few pictures that shows her crazy hair. It is very thick and I think it is starting to get some curl. I love her hair!

Oh, Ellie still does NOT bear any weight on her legs. She is way behind considering that is a skill most 4 months old do! Come on Ellie!! Personally, I think she is just being lazy and will do it on her own time. The doctor gave me a number to "Kids on the Move," which is physical therapy for small children. If she still doesn't bear any weight by the time she is 11 months old I will have to take her to therapy. Everyone pray that she does. I bought her some cute little shoes from Target for her to walk in this summer, but Greg kindly reminded me that she will probably not be walking by then. I mean she can't even bear weight, let alone stand up holding onto things. How will she ever walk?! Oh the stress you put me through Ellie. :) Good thing you are cute.

If you look closely you can see she has her bottom two teeth! I thought she was teething while we were in AZ during December, but she didn't get them until last month. Oops! She actually is getting two more on top. Don't worry they are not the two front teeth. They are the ones on the side so she will have a major gap in the front. I can't wait to take a picture of them! I love my little Ellie!

Michelle, She is so cute! And just so you know... Luke wouldn't sit up until he was 8 mo. old, but then he was walking by 11. He took a long time to do anything, but then it was just boom, boom, boom... She'll do it when she's ready. I'm so glad you found my blog so I can see yours.

Oh my gosh I love her hair! Did you guys go to Red Cliffs? That used to be a hot spot for sluffing school back in the day. :)

Michelle she is TOO CUTE!! I can't believe how much hair she has! Awesome!! Hannah wouldn't put any weight on her legs either...for a LONG time. She didn't walk until 17 months either. They are smart little boogers...why walk when as soon as you make a sound, someone picks you up and brings you to where you want to go?! Once she walks, you'll want her to sit back down! :)

Yippy!! You posted stuff! I'm glad you had fun in St. George. Doesn't going on trips make motherhood so much more enjoyable.hehe Anyway, I'm sure Ellie will start walking soon...my sisters three kids didn't start until they were a year old so no worries. Love the pictures, again she's the perfect combo, I love her.

Wow, she's only a couple pounds heavier than Paxton! But he's in the 75% for weight, so he's kind of a chunk. Happy 9 months to Ellie!

Wow! I wish Aliya had hair like that or just more hair in general. Thanks for the cute pics!

I'm so happy you updated! She is something else. What a cutie. That hair really is incredible. She is just taking her own time. Why walk, when you can be carried?! I hope things go well with that. I also laughed at the two side teeth coming in. That was Mack. We called him "snaggle" tooth forever! So funny.

Amber said...

Oh my goodness! She is adorable!!! I love her hair. I loved reading your post I could just hear you talking. LOL! Ellie why are you stressing your poor moma out??? =) Don't worry she will do it on her own time. Isn't that just the way girls are?
