Mommy-Daughter Morning

This morning I took off work to take Hannah to her nine month well check.  The appointment was not until 11:15, and I had so much fun just spending time with her this morning.  She woke up about 7 and nursed, and then we crawled into my bed and rested (ie Hannah crawled all over me, tortured Winston, played fetch with her pacifier and tried to pull up using my hair for about 20 minutes, before finally falling asleep).  It was such a treat to sleep in a bit on a Tuesday, cuddled up with my sweet daughter. 

We practiced crawling..

and played with our favorite toy...

At 10, we headed to Kids Kuts for Hannah's third haircut.  She is pretty much an old pro now.

The haircut was pretty quick.  Since we had a bit of time before her doctor's appointment we stopped by the Whalens to say hi to Adam and Claire.  Unfortunately, Jenn was at an appointment and Adam was napping, but I did get some cute pictures of the girls and had a nice visit with Barbara.  Claire look so grown up since I saw her last, I think it is all of the new hair.

After the quick impromptu play date, we headed to the doctor's office.  Dr. Hoefner said that Hannah looks wonderful.  She is still very tall at 29 1/4 inches (97th percentile).  I guessed she would weigh 20 pounds, but was way off.  She was 18 lbs 10.5 oz (50th percentile).  Her head was 17 1/4 inches (50th-75th percentile).

Dr. Hoefner gave us these goals for her one-year appointment:

• Eating only table food
• Eating independently (with her hands, not silverware)
• No more bottles
• Three meals a day with two snacks (currently eating three meals a day with no snacks)

Hannah and I should have our hands full (literally) for the next three months.  Dr. Hoefner also said her ear looks like it is on the mend from an ear infection.  She has had cold symptoms for the last week or so, but did not seem to have ear infection symptoms.  We are supposed to watch it for the next few days, and if it seems like it is bothering her by Thursday or her temperature spikes over 100, she will go on antibiotics.  So far she has been so healthy, so hopefully Dr. Hoefner is right and it will continue to get better.
