9-Months Old!!!

Went to the doctor this morning for Ashlynn's 9-month wellness check. All is well, no bad news. She's 23.3lbs and 29.5 inches long. That puts her in the 95% for height and weight. The doctor told me that her height is equal to that of a 13-month old child. Who'd have thought that we'd have TWO jolly-green giants (can you sense the sarcasm?)!!!! I tried looking at Landin's height for 9-month, but I can't find his record at the moment, but I did find his 12-month. He was 30.5 inches at 12 months...so she's definitely going to pass him up on height. Anyway, she got one shot (Hep B) and she did pretty well considering that she had her bottle, so it really didn't even phase her. I asked the doctor about her tongue-tie and whether it was a good idea to get it clipped now or to find out whether it was going to present as an issue when she starts trying to talk, she suggested to wait and see if it's an issue. Otherwise, all is well. She's healthy, on the right track as far as development (except her sleeping habits of course...still a MAJOR ISSUE), and she's eating well. Couldn't ask for much more. That's all to report. Tomorrow is our appointment at Scottish Rite to see an orthopedic about her foot (she was born with her right foot turned outward and it's potentially still a problem, especially now that she's about to start walking, so this appointment is just to be on the safe side and see if there is a problem or not and what can be done to correct it if necessary). I'll give updates on that when we find out more.
