Lily's 9-Month Checkup

We took Lily to the pediatrician this week and she is growing well. She is 28 inches long and weighs 19 pounds 5 ounces, which puts her in the 75th percentile for height and head circumference and the 50th percentile for weight. She still isn't that interested in baby food so we will start trying soft table foods and finger foods and see if she prefers foods that she can feed to herself. We wish she would nap regularly during the day but are grateful that she sleeps well at night.

Lily has figured out how to sit up by herself from a laying down position (and how to get back down again). She has become mobile enough to get into everything in the house and is less interested in her toys than, say, electrical cords. She seems to be close to crawling when she gets on hands and knees and rocks back and forth, but for now she pulls herself along on her belly. It is funny to watch her maneuver around! She's looking more and more like her daddy, don't you think?
