This Memorial Day Gwen turned 9 months old. We took her to her 9 month check up today at her pediatrician's office. She's right on target: 29 inches tall, 21.5 pounds. That puts her in the 95% for height and 90% for weight. The doctor remarked that she's not at risk for childhood obesity because her percentages are bigger for height then weight. It's not time to break out the donuts though. For a more realistic idea of how big she is, she's wearing 18-month-old clothes and size 4 diapers. That probably means something to you recent parents out there.
Doctor Harris called her "remarkably social." We have no idea where she gets that from since both Mommy and Daddy tend to be on the shy side. Gwen flirted constantly with the nurses and doctor even though he had predicted that she'd develop stranger anxiety by now. He said that she might be the one in a million baby that never gets it. We'll see because right now we can't take her anywhere without her stopping people by making eye contact and grinning at them. We were at Jonathan's school for 15 minutes today and it happened three times.

That's awesome. Noah never got stranger anxiety either, so we have a remarkable family!
Krista, (Chris must have left that other comment...funny...I had no idea he'd read this already. BTW, I love your blog! It's so fun to hear what you three are all up to. I'm so glad you started it!) So, Gwen's measurements made me curious because every time I hear things about her, it makes me think how similar her and Noah are. I just looked in his baby book and at his 9 mo dr appt he was 22 lbs 4 oz. and 29 inches long. We just have chubby babies! Don't you love it? And Noah is the same about people. Even at 17 mos now, he's only had stranger anxiety a couple of times and only for a few minutes. Then he's all charm!

All my children were like that. Except for Aidan he's the small one of the lot. They were always in the 95th percentile.
