The good- she said she's right on track with all her milestones. She's starting to pull up on her knees and she's crawling all over the place!
The bad-another ear infection.
We were a little concerned about a possible hernia, but he said it's totally common to protrude a little more once they become more active and developing their abdominal muscles.
The good: doing all the physical stuff - crawling, pulling up, cruising on furniture, walking with walker. Eats real food, drinks from a sippy and has a wide variety of foods he likes. Finally have one tooth breaking through!
The bad: making lots of noise but no consonance sounds except an occasional "gah". Dr wasnt worried just said to keep up the books, songs, naming things around the house etc. She said with him being kid #2 and a boy that she isnt surprised he isnt super chatty and he should get talking by a year
22lbs 1oz (94th), 29in (95th). Basically she's huge. She's only 2-3lbs lighter than my 2yr old.
The bad. She's behind on gross motor. She doesn't roll, doesn't crawl, is just starting to hold herself up on her arms while on her belly. Calling for an EI eval tomorrow. Also taking her for an X-ray of her hips because her legs creases don't match up paired with the lack in gross motor-pedi is slightly concerned. Her sleep is shit and pedi is a big CIO advocate.
The good. She has two teeth, loves to stand when we put her on her feet, loves food, loves her sister.
J had her appointment yesterday... Weight: 21 lb, 13 oz (93rd) Height: 26 3/4 (13th) Head: 18.25 (97th) The bad... She has to go back on in a month for another month... Her iron is low. I'm supposed to give her iron rich foods 3x a day. Also, one of the questions they asked was if she would wave bye bye. Umm. No? Cue panicked first time parent panicking. But she does clap and shake her head if we do it... So I think she just hasn't conceptualized waving yet. The good: great leg support when standing, very healthy (no illnesses beyond a few sniffles), crawling quite well now.
O had his appointment yesterday. Weight: 24lb 14oz (98) Height: 30 inches (96) Head: 47cm (94)
Good: Healthy, huge, amazing hair, happy. Loves to sit and stand. Says dadada and dogdogdog, raises arms for up, turns lights off.
Not so good: not playing patty cake or waving hi and bye. Still little interest in any form of motion (rolling, crawling, scooting, etc.). Although the nurse wasn't worried but like bookninja, my FTM feelings are freaking out.

@megliz1 T isn't crawling either. And he can roll, but he would rather not. I mean, what's the point of mobility if you can get the big siblings to bring you toys and play with you? He's going to have zero coping skills...

carrots I was just at the dentist and they said only wipe their teeth with a cloth and water.
jessilabookninja O isn't waving, clapping, or "calling for a song" (thanks wonder weeks). Also not crawling (still. Lol. I keep posting that every week or so). Maybe we need another "my child isn't" thread!

We had our 9 month appointment last Wednesday. M is 21.8 lbs and 28 inches. She recommended cutting back on formula and giving more solids. But this kid loves his bottles so I think we'll reduce slowly.
He's not waving or clapping yet either. Almost crawling but now quite, he sort of does a downward dog movement instead of a crawl. Not pulling up yet.
Makes a lot of different sounds but no true words yet. He does this really cute thing by giving his pacifier to the animals in the books we're reading, page by page.
The doctor mentioned that we should be brushing his teeth with a flouride based toothpaste and that this was coming from a new recommendation. Did anybody else get this advice? How am I supposed to make him spit the toothpaste out?
If the pedi told me to do that I don't think I would follow through (she didn't). I still don't even use fluoride on my nearly 3 year old.
We don't do a 9 month appointment so I'm just going to base my post off of milestones and things that you ladies mentioned
G turned 9 months one week ago.
She's ~17 lbs. No idea about her other stats but she seems fairly petite in comparison to other babies we know who are younger than her.
She claps, waves, plays peek-a-boo and babbles. She can't really crawl, she'll move forward and then sit down. She cruises and can take several steps on her own but would much rather hold onto something (a finger, pant leg, push toy) to walk around.
No teeth or signs of teething at all really.
She eats most things that we put in front of her (BLW). I'm still breastfeeding. And she's still nursing 1-3 times at night.
If the pedi told me to do that I don't think I would follow through (she didn't). I still don't even use fluoride on my nearly 3 year old.
Yea I'm going to do some research before deciding what to do. She also said they do flouride treatments in office so I guess I need to figure out what that entails/means.
It's a topical fluoride varnish if they are doing it in office. They will paint it on your LO's teeth. It is sticky (like honey) and it adheres to the tooth surface to allow the fluoride to soak into the tooth.
Today was our 9 month appointment and DD is 9 months to date
Height: 29.5 inches (95%)
Weight: 19 lbs 12 oz (75%)
She is a happy baby with 4 teeth and is more interested in walking than crawling. She'll get up on all fours and rock, but won't move forward. She will stand by herself and then fall on her butt and thinks it's funny. She babbles and waves and really enjoys eating. Her favorite food is pastina and I'm going to try to find some more options for breakfast because she's getting tired of the repetition. She also had her last Hep B shot and screamed and was totally fine after I picked her up!
