9 Month Stats

Let's face it, Alli has always been a little meatball and has the cheeks and thighs to prove it!  However, at her 9-month check-up on Tuesday, we learned that our meatball is stretching out into a sausage.  Instead of being above and beyond the percentile chart for her weight (like she has been since, oh, about seven months ago), she landed ON the chart at the 80th percentile!  WOOHOO!!  At 20 lb 13 oz, she gained a whoppin' pound and a half in the past three months.  Don't worry, she eats plenty; she just loves to cruise around the house ALL DAY LONG holding on to grown-up fingers.  Still topping the height charts, she grew more than two inches to reach 2 feet 5 inches tall.  (It sounds so much taller than 29 inches.)  Alli still isn't crawling, but she wants to be mobile so badly and gets really angry when she's stuck in one spot.  (And I mean really angry.)  I don't think teething is helping her attitude at all.  Of course, she's still fun and sweet, but she has definitely been asserting herself by showing off her moody side.

Of course, all moodiness is forgiven when looking at this picture.  :)

I will be posting Alli's 9-month photos soon.
