An Average Baby

So apparently, Caitlin is an average baby. We went to the doctor for her 9 month checkup today, and like the 4 other times, Caitlin got to get naked and weighed and measured. She is 18 lbs. 6.7 oz., 27.25 inches long, and has a head circumference of 44". This makes her 50th, 40th and 50th percentile respectively. A tad short, but otherwise average.

Before she was slightly hefty at 60th percentile in weight 3 months ago, but apparently all that crawling and getting into things she's not supposed to get into, has trimmed her down a tad. I would have almost thought that the extra carbs from the massive amounts of Cheerios would have made her gain weight. =)

Caitlin's Mile Stones

We have been so busy. I haven't posted anything since work started, plus I had jury duty. I just got dismissed last Wednesday. Caitlin is growing so fast. Ever since Caitlin was able to scoot around, she really loves her freedom and has been scooting all around the house. Her full set of hair has gotten a little bit longer. Caitlin turns 9 months tomorrow, and she is crawling, kneeling, standing with support, hanging off the side of the banister of the crib and eating Cheerios by herself. It's so...... cute. I'm still trying to teach her baby sign language, but I haven't had any obvious progress. People just tell me to keep trying. Caitlin has been making a lot of sounds and doing lots of baby talk. Caitlin our little troublemaker, loves to pose for the camera.
