This afternoon, we went in for Aubree's 9-month check-up. She seemed to be feeling much better today except for her cough that bothers her the most while she's napping and eating. Other than that, she was back to her old self.
Like I said, I was worried about another ear infection but Dr. Davey said both of her ears were perfectly clear. I am so thankful for that. He actually said that if I hadn't told him she was sick, he wouldn't have known based on her ears, nose, throat...everything.
She weighs 18 lbs 8 oz (37th percentile) and is 28 1/2 inches long (74th percentile) and her head is also at the 74th percentile. At every appointment, I think she'll pass Ayla's weight at the same age because she eats so much more but this time she was still 3 oz less than Ayla...however, she is 3/4 of an inch longer. She laid perfectly still while Judy, the nurse, measured her and changed her diaper. I only mention this because lately, she is freaking nuts when we try to change her diaper or clothes. Horrible. She vigorously shakes her head no (which is a newly learned skill as of late), flails her arms, kicks, rolls, and screams. It's impossible to get her to stay still sometimes. I feel like my relaxed little baby has made a 180. Can you imagine the tantrums this child is going to throw when she's two or three years old?!
Anyways.
She did well throughout most of the appointment. She was happily playing with two tongue depressors while Dr. Davey looked her over until he started pressing on her belly...that's when she reacted in the same way as when we change her diaper. She had to get a finger poke and didn't even flinch...no crying at all. The one shot she had to get in her leg made her cry for just a few seconds.
