9 Month Check-up

McCall had her 9 month check-up yesterday. At 9 months she:

• Is still growing like crazy and is in the 100th percentile for height (measuring at 29 3/4 inches- which is exactly 10 inches longer than she was at birth)- I believe the Dr.'s exact words were "she's busting out of the height chart." The verdict is still out on if this is a good or bad thing. Good: our sweet baby is growing and thriving! Bad: Every time we dress her, it is like "honey I shrunk the outfit." She has some outfits that haven't even been worn yet and are already too short.... sad times.....

• Is in the 50-60th percentile on weight (coming in at 19 pounds 13 ounces)- wooo hooo!!!

• Has been given the green light on stopping some baby foods and starting some table foods- basic stuff- green beans, peas, etc.

• Has officially been diagnosed with eczema- blah! This was the not so fun part of the check-up. I had spoken with the doctor before about her skin and how dry it was, but over the past few weeks it has gotten progressively worse. Yesterday, (luckily, sort of) it was at an all time high of irritation, so the doctor saw just how bad it had gotten and gave her a prescription steroid ointment and moisturizer that we can apply when it gets really bad (wow, that was a really long run-on sentence....sorry!)

So, all in all a pretty good visit growth wise and we hope to get the eczema under control!
