The Pickle turned 9 months old last Wednesday (4/20), so we had her nine-month appointment on Friday.
The stats:
Height: 28 inches (73%)
Weight: 20 lb 2 oz (82%0
Head: 19 in (off the charts still)
Alice first had to get her hep B booster - she is such a little toughy. She never actually cried, just squawked for four seconds (this is not an exaggeration), and then was done. We then had to take her to the lab to get her finger pricked for her iron test - again, she never cried, never even fussed. She DID give the lab tech a look of, "What the heck are you doing THAT for?!" Other than that, she was a tough little bird!
She is slightly anemic, so they're putting her on some iron supplements for the next month. We go back on May 20 to see if it's gotten better. Other than that, it was a blessing to read the phrases "happy, healthy, developmentally normal 9-month-old."

What a good grower she is!!!
Happy 9 months, Alice! :)
That's so great to hear! Isn't it crazy how fast the time goes?
I also wanted to thank you for your comment on my last post- I won't go into detail here, of course, but I wanted to let you know that I feel for you and I'm sorry you have such a difficult situation to deal with. It really put my own situation in perspective. :)
Those are the BEST WORDS EVER to read, Healthy, Im so glad!
She is getting so big! :)
I was an slightly anemic baby when I was born. She will be fine (:
