Today was Avery's 9 month appointment. We haven't been to see Dr. Rufa in about 3 months, so it was exciting to learn about how Avery is progressing. I mean, obviously we think she's smart, on track and just an overall great kid, but is she where she is supposed to be??
The results...of course she is!!! Avery can do everything that a 9 month old should be doing, and even doing some things that 1-year-olds should be doing! Dr. Rufa told us that she loved that Avery was so mobile and on the verge of walking. She likes that she can wave hi and bye (and say it occasionally as well). Avery recently said her first sentence which was "hi, dada."
She is eating pretty well and sleeping only ok. But have you seen this kid's smile...you can't get mad at her for lack of sleep!!!
Avery did receive one shot today. It was given in her arm since she likes to use her legs to stand a lot. She took the shot like a champ - one loud scream and about a 20 second cry was all. We head back in October (the 29th to be exact) for her 1 year appointment (did I really just say 1 year???).

Riley came to Avery's appointment with us and gave lots of information to the doctor about her little sister!!
