She had a very successful 9-month doctor visit today.  It won’t come as much surprise that this girl is super long and super thin!  She’s measuring in the 95% for height and 20% for weight.  But her eating and sleeping are right on target, so she’s growing like she should be.

And we spotted two new teeth during the visit!  She is getting in her “top lateral incisors” (meaning that the two front middle teeth are still to be seen).  The doctor said that it’s actually rather rare to get those teeth in before the front middle ones, but the same thing happened to her own kids.  So Delaney is in good company.

She was checked for anemia (she’s fine) and received her second flu shot.  After just a few tears, she was back to babbling at the doctor and trying to lick her stethoscope in no time.

There were three newborn babies (all within five days old) at the doctor’s office today.  Wow – it really showed just how much Delaney has grown in nine months.  I’ve already forgotten just how tiny she used to be!  Now she’s a busy bee who loves to rock out in her bouncy seat!

I cannot say just how much we lucked out finding Holly and Will.  Holly takes such great care of Delaney while I work, and Will and Delaney always have a blast playing together.  Because of them, Delaney has the best social life out of the three of us!

She had fun with them at the aquarium, where Will counted all of the fish for Delaney.

They also had a great time at the zoo with Holly’s mom (Delaney is making her new “face of the month” – her pucker face).

After months of drooling and gnawing, we finally have teeth!  We first noticed a little white bud on Friday, December 30.  It didn’t take long for her first tooth to come in (bottom left), which was quickly followed by the second tooth (bottom right).
