9 Month Check Up

Harper went to the doctor for her 9 month check up. While we waited for the doctor, Harper discovered that the paper on the table made noise. Soon she was kicking and pulling the paper....I thought about stopping her from destroying the paper, but in the end decided it was harmless (and really cute), so I let her play.

After her play session on the table, ehe was happy to see Dr. Peterson and was very well behaved during the appointment. She sat quietly while they listened to her heart and looked into her eyes and ears. Harper is up to 18 lbs 8 oz (42 percentile) and is 27.8" long (53 percentile). Dr. Peterson was happy with her growth and ok'ed for us to continue trying new foods. Overall the doctor was happy with Harper's development. We need to continue working on gross motor skills (standing, crawling, etc) and will continue to work on her communication skills, but the doctor was very impressed by her fine motor skills and problem solving skills.
