10 Months Old

At her 9 month doctor visit, Kian weighed 19 lbs and was 29 inches tall. This puts her in the 56th percentile for her weight and the 92nd percentile for her height. The doctor says that she is doing fine and that her stomach problems should decrease within 3 months of when she starts walking. Kian remains on her 2 different medications 2 times a day each.

Some new things that Kian does...when you say 'hello' she holds her hand up to her ear like she is holding a cell phone. We did not think that we talk on the phone that much, but it is something we do fairly regularly. Also, Kian now makes kissing noises. When you make a kissing noise at her she will usually make them back at you. She especially likes to give her big sister lots of kisses when the are riding in the back seat of the car together. As a matter of fact, Kian gets mad when Skyla rides in the front of the car. When Mom picks Skyla up from school in the afternoon, Skyla has to climb in the back seat of the car so that Kian does not scream.

We posted a video last month of Kian walking, but she is doing even better than that now and we expect her to be walking independently soon. Kian already likes to scoot across the floor to pull herself up on the cabinets and open them. Therefore, we have been putting baby locks on all of the cabinets and in the bathrooms and kitchen.

Kian started Kindermusik last week, which is a music-focused learning group. She loves being around other babies and dancing to the music.

You might have noticed a new picture at the top of the blog. That, as well as the ones below, are Kian's 9 month photos...
