Well, two weeks after Isla turned 9 months we finally got in to see her pediatrician (she was way overbooked!). Our doctor said she looks healthy and was happy to hear that Isla is doing much better being content/happy. She thinks by the time she's one and can walk and talk a bit more she will be even more content. Overall she said her development looks great too, and she's meeting all of her milestones. Isla smiled at her, clapped, "jumped," and even let the doctor hold her for a bit. She did NOT like her shots but otherwise did great at the appointment. Dr. Calkins thinks her top four teeth are all getting ready to break through (she has the bottom two already). So that explains the bad sleep lately.
Stats:
-Weight 17.5 pounds (32%)
-Height 27.25 inches (20%)
-Head 43.5cm (33%)
Her growth curve looks great and doctor had no concerns, other than her tear duct still looks blocked. It's not too bad so we are going to wait until she's a year to see if it can open up on it's own. Otherwise we get a referral to the eye doctor.
