9 Month Madness

Here is our very big girl... doing what she does best -- putting things in her mouth!

9 Month check-up Friday....and all went great. She's getting a little timid with strangers now which is really funny -- watching her "check out" the doctor again and again as he looked in her eyes, her ears, and pokes on her tummy. I think her favorite part of the appointment was ripping apart the paper that is on the exam tables. Who knew she could destroy a room so fast? It's just wild watching her little personality start to develop. She's in the 25% for head size and height and she's in the 3% for weight coming in at just over 14.5 lbs. Our doctor was very pleased. In fact, he could hardly hear a residual murmur in her heart. The first post-surgery visit he could still hear a little something -- it's just where a stitch most likely fell out when they were being careful around the electrical center of her heart so as to not nick it and require a pacemaker -- it isn't anything they'd ever do anything about. No surgery, no worries etc. However, the fact that his super-sonic ears picked up the huge hole in the first place, it was great to hear that he "really couldn't hear anything anymore." We hope that gets confirmed on Monday at the cardiologist. I must say, it's pretty fun breezing into a normal doctor visit without having to worry about upcoming surgery.
