Nine month well visit

This afternoon, we headed to see Dr. Nordby for Kendall’s nine month well visit.  She was much more aware of being on the scale at this visit and had one nervous whimper which quickly disappeared at the sight of all the stickers. Kendall is very good at cooperating with the nurse while she gets her height and weight and even head circumference.  image Dr. Nordby said Kendall checks out, yet again, with a perfect bill of health.  I am so proud of those words so you might continue to see them in each well visit post.  It makes me happy to know Kendall continues to grow and develop right on track and sometimes even ahead of the game.  She gave us some ideas for a few different finger foods to try so we’ll try that in due time.  During the exam of her mouth, Dr. Norby said her lower gums felt full and she suspected teeth might be popping through soon. We shall see! imageWe had fun in the exam room waiting our turn, thanks to a few toys I brought  from home.  The table paper on the exam bed just wasn’t entertaining her like it has at previous visits.image
