On Monday, I took Cora to her 9 month pediatric checkup. Wow, how time flies. Nothing new of note. No concerns from the doctor. My only silly concern...perhaps we should start encouraging waving. She's got the clapping down, but seems less interested in the art of waving. I am very blessed that this of all things would even be a concern. There are a million other more serious things that I could be worrying about, thankfully none of which affect us. And if you are wondering, no, I am not worried about the waving; I'm just putting it on the things to introduce/encourage list.
We also have Cora's new size statistics. Our lean, mean daughter is weighing in at 17 lbs, 12 oz (25-50 percentile) and measuring 28.5 inches tall (75-90 percentile). She's following the growth curve so the doctor said that there is nothing concerning about her weight.
Well, she may be "petite" (as people tend to refer to her) but she's certainly not immobile. The girl is on the move. Crawling, no problem. Cruising, you betcha. Climbing stairs...I'm afraid so!!! Cora picked up a new skill today. Lord help me!
Eventually we'll get to the going-down-the-stairs part. I need to rest my heart before that day comes.
