Nine Month Well Baby Visit
On Wednesday Grace and I went to see her doctor for her nine month well baby visit. It is nice to only see the doctor every 3 to 4 months. Compared to the once or twice a week that we had soon after she was born....this is a dream!
Her weight is 18 pounds 11 ounces (40th percentile)
Her height is 26 1/2 inches (15th percentile)
She was "showing off" to the nurse and the doctor at the visit by taking a step, crusing along the wall, and going just about anywhere that she had handholds.
The doctor said that she is doing well.
She did however have two shots. She was not feeling very well the rest of the day. And the worst part of it all was that Matt and I were going to a church group that night so she was going to be in nursery. I felt sorry for both her and the women that were to take care of her, but according to them she did well.

Introduction to Elmo
In the past Grace has watched Star Trek and Bones with Matt and I. She has also watched Little Einstein with Austin, Adam, Shannon, and sometimes even Eamon. Yesterday Grace and I went to the library to return a book that I had just finished. While there we also went to the children's department to see what DVD's were available. Many DVD's and many choices!
We ended up choosing Elmo's World: Let's Play Music and Curious George Goes Green. After her nap today I brought her to the living room and popped in Elmo. She was amazed and transfixed! She almost did not even notice that I had placed a small snack in front of her.
The video was a nice small treat for Grace (and me too). 30 minutes of something new. I think that we will keep visiting the library....not only for books, but for episodes like this since we do not have cable.
Only one thing bad about it...I now have da da da da da da da da Elmo's World! Stuck in my head :(

Growing by leaps and bounds
Or maybe just a few small steps, but it is a start.
Some milestones that I want to record on here (and share with friends and family) are:
On September 3rd Grace really crawled for the first time! This was hand, knee, hand, knee thing. Not the move your hands scoot your head or belly, move your knees, roll and somehow get to where you are going. No, this was the real crawl thing. I think that she enjoys it for she has done it many times since. I believe that she has realized that she can get places fairly fast by using this new skill.
On September 4th Grace got her fourth tooth. Top middle. Matt will no longer be able to call her snaggletooth :) She seems to be enjoying sharpening her lethal choppers on flesh and furniture alike. She is starting to get a very toothy grin with her four teeth, it is quite cute (until she lunges at you with her mouth open).
Today she has discovered the joy of one of her new toys that we got her over the weekend. We got her a walk behind toy. She grabs onto the handle and back and forth in the living room she goes. She squeals and laughs the whole way. I think that she knows that she is doing something big. Another big milestone to record is that I am noticing that she is walking on her tippy toes less and less. She is starting to walk on her flat foot. I do not think it will be long before she walks on her own, however I am not going to push it. I just want her to play and enjoy her new toys.
Gotta keep moving....
Till next time!

Brave
Grace is getting brave...
It is not the longest that she has stood on her own, but a good example.
