Update from the 9-month check-up with Dr Rosen:
- Doctor Rosen discovered that her first tooth had emerged. Tooth #2 is right there too.
- Weight, height and head size are all increasing nicely and following the normal curve for full term babies now. No more compensation for prematurity needed on the growth scales.
- Back of her head on the left side is a bit flat so we got orders to put her on her right side.....good luck with that. Maya isn't exactly a stationary sleeper anymore. She rotates like a propeller, doing 360's all night long
- Her tone, flexibility, movement and general development is great and she is right on par with other nine month old babies.
- We are stopping iron supplements since it's making her constipated and her hemoglobin is above average now.
General update:
- Maya is making a lot of new sounds. Baba, dada, gaga etc and generally talking non-stop.
- Has learned to wave good bye to dad in the mornings when he leaves for work.
- She can now pull herself up to standing postion in the crib. Exciting and worrying at the same time.
- Can crawl backwards, much to Maya's own frustration. She gets really upset when she keeps moving away from the toy she is aiming for rather than closer.
- Rocks back and forth on all fours, which apparently is a sign of imminent forward crawling .
- Loves books but destroys every single one with sucking on it and tearing off pages. Dad's favorite baby book with machines is now falling apart
