Small but Mighty

That's what the pediatrician called Ainsley at her nine-month well visit, and I think it's quite fitting!  She is 15 lb 1/2 oz, which puts her in the 3rd percentile for weight, and 27 3/4", which is the 60th percentile for length. 

The doctor was very pleased with her muscle tone and all of her milestones/developments.  Regarding her sleeping and eating habits, he used the terms "awesome" and "rock star."  That's my girl!  We'll see him again at 12 months.

Nine Months Old

Ainsley is nine months old today!  She wants to be everywhere and do everything, which makes getting her birthday picture that much harder!

Within the last few weeks, she has started to babble with consonant sounds - she says, "bwah, bah, bah!"  Ainsley is also getting quite skilled with finger foods.  We started by giving her puffs, and she's also had bananas, blueberries and green beans.  Happy birthday, Baby!

Hey...these are pretty good!

I'm not sure what this is about, but I thought it was funny!
