9 month doctors visit

Dear Amelia -
Grandma Kiki was nice enough to meet me at the doctor's office yesterday so I didn't have to leave work any earlier than necessary. When I picked you up, you were napping so I let you sleep until we get to the doctor and it was time to do your measurements!

At your 6th month check up the stats were as follows:
Weight: 17 pounds 9 ounces
Length: 27 inches
Head: 17 inches

9 Month stats:
Weight: 20 pounds 6 ounces -- 75%
Length: 27 3/4 -- 55% (Doc says she thinks you were being measured incorrectly before)
Head: 18" -- 90% (no surprise there)

The doctor was good, She said you are a happy baby...she is right! You didn't have to have any shots yesterday! Boy I was glad to hear that! I did ask her about the bumps on your face, arms and legs. She said it's Kertosis Pilaris. She wasn't too concerned with it and said it will go away. They can give cream to older kids that get it but it stings so she didn't think it would be good for you. I agreed. 

After the doctor, we came back to Mommy's work for about 30 mins so I can finish some stuff up. Everyone thought you were so cute :) Of course!

We went home to finish up some packing before I dropped you off at Glamma and Cookies. I gave you kisses and sent you on your way up to the cabin. I can't wait to see you tonight. Glamma said you did good in the car and once you got up to the cabin you were wide away. I got a text from her this morning say you were up and HAPPY! 

Me, Cookie, Awesome Uncle Aldo and Gram Gram are leaving around 5 to head up! We probably won't get there until after you are asleep but I'll come in and give you a smooch.

Love,
Mom
