9 Month Check-up

Today we went to the pediatrician for Rylan's 9 month appointment and she gets another good bill of health.  She is 15 lbs. 4 oz. (only the 5th percentile this time) and 25 1/4 inches long.  The doctor still isn't concerned about her weight since she is eating fine and making all of her developmental milestones.  Looks like she is just going to be one petite girl.  

Things have been going very well here and we've got 3 new big events to share! First, I think I am finally getting Rylan on a napping schedule.  The last two days she has taken both of her naps in her crib with only minimal crying before falling asleep.  She has been sleeping for longer than she used to which has been great for me.  It is nice to finally be able to get her to sleep without her bottle. 

The next big thing is that she is getting her 4th tooth.  It is coming in in the part of her gums that were visible before her cleft was closed.  It seems to be coming in pretty straight and right in the middle, so maybe her teeth won't be too affected.  

Finally, Rylan is starting to stand on her own for a few seconds at a time.  It is usually just a second or two where she lets go (as you can see in the video) but the other day she stood for a full five seconds before falling back down!  Yeah Rylan!
