Reese is indeed a big girl now. Her 9 month check up was today and the doctor seemed very pleased with her development. She now weighs just over 20 lbs. which puts her in the 67% percentile and she is 28 and 3/4 inches tall which means she is in the 82% percentile. She has certainly slimmed down due to crawling and I guess she hasn't hit a growth spurt in a while but she is doing great.

Her head however, continues to be huge. She is in the 92% for head circumference. It must be that big brain of hers!
All this growth means she has outgrown her infant car seat so we had to buy her a bigger one. This one should be good up to 70lbs so I'm hoping she'll be at least 6 or 7 before she outgrows this one.

But for now we are focusing on 9+ months which is a very fun age. Reese is actually playing with her toys instead of just putting them in her mouth. She loves her new pink scooter that she can ride or push.

So far she can't make it move by herself so Mike and I have to run behind her if she wants a joyride but she does enjoy just sitting on it as you can see.
Reese is able to feed herself a lot now so we enjoy having her at the dinner table with us. She's a good eater (not fussy like her mommy was) and even likes broccoli. In this picture she's eating whole wheat pasta spirals with zucchini and broccoli sauteed in a little olive oil, tossed with oregano and Parmesan cheese.

Delicious!
