And the Winner Is...

MOMMY!!!

Lily had her 9 month check-up today. All is good. She continues to grow, grow, grow! If you read my previous post you can see that we had a little bet going on to see who could guess the closest to what Lily would measure in at. I won! Lily weighed in at 20 pounds 6 ounces (75th percentile) and she is 30 inches long (97th percentile). I am amazed at how many people can't believe how big she is for 9 months. We were at Village Inn the other morning and our waitress asked me how old she when I said 9 months she replied "WHOA...a big 9 months." By no means is she chubby, she is just tall. Well, duh...look at her Daddy. He is 6'5". So, obviously she gets it from him and not from my 5'2" stature.

I don't know if they told me this at her 6 month visit, but she didn't get any shots today. Dr. Russell said since she had been getting the Penticil (sp? the 5 in one shot) that she was up to date and didn't need any until her one year appointment. I didn't complain and neither did Lily. Is this normal? I don't know. It's odd how many people, including my family, say "You're a nurse, don't you know?" It is so different when it is your OWN child. I don't want to be her nurse. I want to be her Mommy. Plus, I don't take care of children on an everyday regular basis at the hospital, and our kids aren't getting immunizations anyhow. So there...NO...I DON'T know. :) It is so hard to believe that I made her one year appointment today. I say this all the time, but SERIOUSLY...where does the time go?!
