Growing up

 

 

 

Hadley's first Valentine's Day.  My little sweethearts!

 

 

My babies are growing up.  This week Miles visited the dentist for the first time.  He was very interested in all of the equipment and what was happening to the other kids.  He was such a big boy in the dentist's chair and did pretty well.  At this first visit the dentist just looked at and counted his teeth - he's got all 20!  He left feeling very proud and with a new orange (his favorite color) toothbrush.

Miles was playing by himself and this is what I found when I checked on him.

Hadley visited the pediatrician this week for her 9 month appointment.  It was good timing because she had a fever Sunday night and Monday and was pulling on her right ear.  Our suspicions were correct - she has an ear infection and is on amoxicillin.  Besides that she is a healthy and sweet little doll.  Her large and fine motor skills are really growing.  She's now taking a few crawls on all fours and is pulling herself up on furniture - most of the time up to her knees but she's pulled up to stand too.  She's a girl on the go.  She also has made a transition to eating more finger foods including chicken, cheese, grapes and banana pieces.  She loves feeding herself and is a good eater.  She is still a cuddler - most of the time she prefers being held and snuggling to anything else.  Today we went to the mall and out to dinner and she received so many compliments on what a cute doll she is - we definitely agree!  Here are her stats:

• Height:  28 inches (70%)
• Weight:  18 lbs 7 oz (50%)
• Head size:  17.5 inches (60%)
