Ella's 9 month pediatrician visit was a couple days ago. She is 22lbs 2oz and 28.75" long. Her head measurement had been pretty consistent until this visit, when it jumped "off the charts." Since this can be indicative of some problems (or it could be nothing aside from a growth spurt), she'll be having an MRI next week. They will have to sedate her for that, so we're hoping she doesn't have any issues from the anesthesia (not expecting any, but you never know). After having Andy sedated for his surgery last year, we're probably a little less anxious about it, especially since this time it's just for an MRI.
She will also be seeing an ENT doctor about the "honking" noise she makes (not sure how to describe it other than she sounds like a goose at times). Just a week ago I had mentioned to Jamie how she must have finally outgrown it as I hadn't noticed it in about a week or two, then she started doing it again - a LOT - over the weekend and ever since. The pediatrician was a little concerned that she was still doing it and said it was probably best to have her checked by an ENT who can hopefully give us a better idea of why she makes that noise (she has been since she was born).
Aside from her big head and honking, though, she seems well. :) Not crawling yet, but she rolls and scoots around a lot, and has been pushing up on her arms more and more lately. She loves to eat and has yet to meet a food she doesn't like. She also loves "the itsy bitsy spider" (it's worked wonders to calm her down since she was about 5 months old!!) and she's started giving kisses - mostly this entails her leaning into you and making an "mmmmmm" noise (I guess we do that when we kiss her!).
