9 Months Young!

Today is Paprika's 9 Month Birthday! It hard for me to believe that she's been outside of me as long as she was inside me. We went to her nine month check-up with her new doctor in Pasadena. She is 23 pounds in weight and is 28 inches long. The doctor said she is perfectly proportional and is a really healthy, vibrant girl. He also commented on how advanced she is verbally. He said that she is talking in a way that he sees in babies much older than she is, and that with her verbal skills being so advanced, he would expect her to be slower in her physical development- but that her physical development is also a bit ahead of the curve. That was really nice to hear! He also checked her eyes and her reflexes-- all in good shape. :-)
