Ari's 9 Month Checkup

At the beginning of this month, Ari had her nine month checkup. She was a very good girl. She didn't even cry when the nurse pricked her finger to take some blood. I was glad to hear that the doctor felt that her ears look good and hopefully we can make through this Winter without getting tubes put in.

Here's how she is measuring up:

Height:  28 1/2 inches (75%)

Weight:  18 lbs 1 oz (40%)
