31 for 21: 9 Month Stats



Last Wednesday Claire had her 9 month well baby appointment.  She is still growing very well and weighed in at 15 lbs 10oz.  That is a 4 lb gain in the 4 months since her OHS.  She is 26 inches, and her measurements put her at 5-12% on the typical chart, and 35-50% on the Ds chart.

In the last month she has learned to sit unsupported, and 2 weeks ago she learned how to get from her belly into sit by herself. Right now she gets there by way of the splits, but I think she'll be able to get there from her side before too long.  Next up, bearing weight on her legs, which she isn't a fan of so far....

  1. You go girl! You grow girl!

    Those splits are so cool (and not, at the same time). You're right--she'll outgrow that.

    No hurry for walking--crawling is such an important stage-her skill at crawling will determine quite a bit of her physical abilities years down the line. I heard that when Hannah was little, but I can really see it now. Make her crawl long distances,different terrain, up and down ramps (sofa cushions?). It's a great workout--try it with her!

  4. Wow, you go girl. It gives me a bit of an idea about how good Arina is doing. I think she is doing pretty darn good for being in an orphanage!

  6. I know it is nice to see them hit milestones, but personally that walking around bit is overrated! Life changes after that. I can't believe she is already 9 months old!
