9 Month Stats!

So we went to the doctor yesterday. Honestly, it was kind of uneventful- which is a good thing I guess. Maeve was umm....can we say talkative.. to say the least. The doctor was cracking up at how much she had to say to herself in the mirror! Here are some of her stats:

Weight- 50th percentile at 19.4 pounds
Height- 25th percentile at 27 1/2 inches
Head Circumference- 50th percentile at 44.5 (her brain is growing so nicely!)

She is a tiny little thing. Which led to a lot of questions on my side. Is she eating enough? Do I reduce the breastfeeding? Can she have finger foods? What kinds are they? I am clueless when it comes to the next steps. But you know what? That is what they are there for! So we are going to three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. She CAN start eating finger foods (staying away from high allergy foods). She suggested Rice Crispies (who would have thought?) cubed pears and peaches etc. Anything that gives her different textures in her mouth. I don't have to reduce the breastfeeding (although she gave me a schedule and I am only one more feeding than what she thinks Maeve needs). She believes Maeve will reduce them on her own. Sleeping through the night. Yeah, Maeve is SO NOT doing this. She laughed and said she was doing it on purpose because I was actually waking up with her! As soon as she gets better, she is so going to be crying it out in the middle of the night. She goes down wonderfully.....she just gets up three times a night to feed. UGH! She was quite impressed that Maeve can pull up on her own. But wrote something in her chart that Maeve was not crawling- OH MAN! She put her on all fours though and Maeve started rocking back and forth and the doc predicted it would be any day now! No teeth yet which I so don't mind because I am still enjoying my nipples, hahaha! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. There is video at the end!!
Mommy....how do you get this thing on?

Hahahaha! I am so funny!

Yes, I am standing all by myself now!

Tongue shot for Aunt Bean!

I really enjoy hanging socks out of my mouth.

I don't know what happened. I was standing and the next thing I knew...I was on the floor!

I love this girl!

Maeve..you are getting so big, yet so tiny too! You need to let mommy sleep during the night! Mommy will be a much happier person and you can have so much more fun! Keep growing and get crawling! You will be amazed at the trouble you can get into then! Love, Maya
