Checking out the bandaids!
Today Marlee had her 9 month check up (even though she turned 9 months last week). No shots this time, just a finger prick to check her iron. Poor baby, the nurse had to check it twice because the first time the count came back really low. If you look closely in the picture, you can see that Marlee has a bandaid on each of her middle fingers! She tried to chew them, but by the time we left the office, the bandaids had fallen off! The doctor was proud of her growth. She's 18.5 pounds and 28 inches long. She's in the 50% for her weight and 20% for her height. Translated: she will probably grow to be about 5'3" (probably my height and weight). The doctor said she was free to eat just about anything except eggs, honey, and peanut butter!! One thing the doctor asked me before we left was if I remembered when she was 2 weeks old! Of course I do, but it seems so far away! Marlee is really growing! Now she is cruising on EVERYTHING! She cruises on the walls, tables, chairs, and anything she gets her hands on! Marlee is trying to take a few steps too! Boy am I in for it when she starts walking!!

Hey Sam!!! Marlee is so precious...Sailer also had her 9 month check up a few weeks ago, and she has almost the exact same stats as Marlee, except she's 50% for height. Sailer is 18 lbs. 2 oz..very close to Marlee! We have to get them together!!! They would be fascinated with each other!
