Look Who's 9 Months Old
So, today I had two people tell me, "she is very persistent." Yup, that's my girl, very determined... which is a great trait to have in life. However... right now her persistence consists of fighting diaper changes and getting dressed... getting into the TV wires... speaker wires.. etc...etc..... but I would not trade it for the world. Olivia is very inquisitive and really concentrates on whatever she is doing, slightly hard headed.... I'm not sure but that MAY come from mommy?? She also has a high tolerance for pain... like daddy. She is one tough cookie!!
Today at the pediatrician she weighed in at 17lbs 14oz and is 26 inches long... doing great! Much better than the last month or so. She had her first sick visit to the doctor... she got antibiotics for a sinus infection.... then 2 weeks later she had her second sick visit.... she had RSV, two ear infections and bronchiolitis. Poor baby.... I felt so bad for her... but through it all.... she tried to keep that sweet smile on her face.
Those two teeth that I saw coming in last month are now in... and Dr. Zeibarth said there were several more trying to come in... he thought maybe this weekend... we shall see. Olivia is crawling all over... pulls up on everything, claps her hands, and is starting to feed herself at mealtime... although she really would rather stay clean and let me do it.
hmmmm.... what toy do I want?
Thanksgiving is two days away and we are ready for some turkey!! I am so thankful for all the blessings we have and so very thankful for my beautiful, healthy baby girl. We will be celebrating with everyone at my dad's house this year.... hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
