9 Month Checkup

Shawn and I took Emily in to see Dr. G this morning for her 9 month checkup.  Here are her stats:

Weight - 16.2 lbs (10%)
Height - 26.3 in (25%)
Head - 17.3 in (50%)

She's definitely a little one.  Her weight % keeps dropping with every visit. But the dr. wasn't concerned at all.  She's just "petite" as he said.  Developmentally she's right on track.  There weren't any concerns there.  He wasn't worried about her lack of teeth either.  He said a lot of babies won't get them until they are a year old.  He did say we could try switching from Nutramigen to a less expensive "gentle" formula.  He thinks with her eating solid foods her "milk lactose" issues should be better.  So we'll see.  He also said to try taking her off the acid reflux medicine again.  I'm crossing my fingers that both transitions go well!  Overall, she did really well at the dr's office.  She did cry when he looked in her ears and when she got her shot, but it only lasted a few seconds.  I'm hoping for no more dr visits until her 1 year checkup!
