9 Month Doctor Visit

We can't believe it either! Abigail and Ansley went for their 9 month visit today. We were able to get it in a little early to coincide with their RSV vaccinations. So don't worry, we can count! :) The girls check up went very well! Abigail weighed 13 lbs. 2 oz and was 24 1/2 in. Ansley weighed 13 lbs. 6 oz. and was also 24 1/2 in. They aren't yet on the growth curve for their age, but Dr. Morel did say that she thought they would be by the time they are a year or so. Even at their adjusted age of 6 months, they are in about the 5th percentile. There's nothing wrong with being petite, right?! They each got 2 shots, along with a prick on the toe to check their iron levels. Dr. Morel had warned us that they might be low because babies absorb most of their iron from their mother in the 3rd trimester, which they basically skipped. Both of the girls' blood was perfect so no more worries about being anemic! We were given the ok to start a few table foods in a couple of months. Dr. Morel quickly corrected Daddy when he started suggesting things like french fries, chicken tenders, and Koolaid! This doctor's visit was much different than all of the others. Gone are the days of peaceful visits. If they weren't talking like crazy, they were either rolling around on the table, or trying to eat the paper! It was very entertaining! We have been so blessed to have such healthy bundles of joy!
Lots of love to you all!
