At her 9 month appointment Hailey weighed in at 20 pounds even (75%) and is 27 1/4 inches long (40%) so for now she is kind of short and stout like her mama! Ha, nothing to worry about though as the doctor said babies fluctuate so much and all that will likely change with her activity levels increasing.
The doctor was also able to feel both her top two middle teeth, so it looks like Hailey got 4 teeth in less than 2 weeks! And lucky for me she really wasn't even too fussy about it, thank goodness.
All in all Hailey is happy and healthy and developing right on track. The doctor said we can start to introduce more table foods and should be thinking about being off the bottle by around 1 year old.
As long as she stays healthy we won't be going back to the doctor until after her 1st birthday, which is less than 3 months away - how is that even possible?!!

9 months old!
Hailey is 9 months old today! It's hard to believe that she's been here as long as I was pregnant, time is going by way too fast.
But I'm really enjoying this stage. She is constantly learning and wanting to try new things. Her favorite thing to do right now is to stand and/or walk while holding onto my hands. She would probably stand all day if I would let her! We got her a little mini stroller with a doll in it that she can pull herself up with and then push around slowly and try to walk. Every day she gets a little more confident and tries to do new things like letting go with one hand or even both a couple times.
And now she is up to 3 teeth! All three came popped out in about the span of a week and a half. She's got the two bottom middle teeth and one top middle tooth. Luckily she hasn't been too terribly miserable with the teething.
Hailey's hair is getting a lot longer and thicker and I recently started mussing it up with water a little bit for a new 'do! Check it out:
I just can't wait til her hair is long and thick enough for me to put it in a ponytail!
We're going in for a 9 month check-up with the pediatrician tomorrow so I will be sure to update soon with all her growth stats!
