It's weird having Catie's check up schedule a month after she turned 9 months, but really, it was only a week ago. I know with the holidays and her doctor is one of the favorites, it can be tough getting in right away.
Catie is growing and perfect, though I don't need an MD to tell me that! I've know it since day 1! :) Catie did surprise us by popping out a tooth yesterday. It's a top one, but not the very middle one, but the one right next to it (on the right side). When the doctor was checking her out, she did a gum check and her other 3 top teeth seem pretty close to coming through, too. We'll definitely be keeping our eye on her mouth. She's going to hate us because she hates to let us see her teeth. But now we know that her gums are probably just sore with so many teeth coming through. Matthew bought some Motrin so we'll have it on hand if she gets too fussy. But other than a short nap yesterday we really didn't know she had a new tooth coming in...and I certainly wasn't looking for a side one to come in first on top!
Catie is 18 lbs, 0.5 oz (45%) and 28 1/4 in (70%) long. Her head is 45.5 cm full of brains, but the doctor didn't get the percent for that. I always forget, but the soft spot should close between 9-18 months and the doctor thinks it will close around 12 months because it's pretty small already (according to her).
Matthew and I both think Catie is starting to favor Alex more, though many people thought she has looked like him since birth. I'm glad they all look alike...especially since they are all super cute!
