well-baby exam

isabelle had her 9 month well-baby exam monday and everything went great! she has 4 teeth (two on top and two on bottom), weighs 18 lbs. 8 oz. and is 27 1/2 in. in length. she has become a professional crawler over the last few weeks and is now learning how to walk. she loves to stand when she has something to hold on to and is overcoming her fear of taking those few little steps before she tumbles to the ground.

a major milestone we are trying to achieve now is weening her off the bottle. yesterday was her first day consistently drinking from a sippy cup at mealtime and she did wonderful. even though it has barely been a full day since we started this transition, she did even better this morning. hopefully, this won't be too painful of a change for her and she'll be drinking out of sippy cups all the time.

it has been several months since isabelle has had one of her hive breakouts, so we decided to experiment with different foods again...slowly of course, but i'm hoping we are a little more successful this time since she's a wee bit older now.

and some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

What's with her "lip face"? That's HILARIOUS! Is she flirting with your buddy? She's got good taste! :-) Vy
