Here are the stats!
Head: 17.3 inches (52nd percentile)
Height: 28.2 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 16.1 lbs. (9th percentile)
So, my doctor said her heigh-weight ratio shouldn't be cause for concern (since she keeps going down the charts in weight) because breastfed children generally dip in weight around this time since the breastmilk calories go down by 50% around this time and their appetites don't make up the difference when it comes to "table food." But, at about a year, she should go up in weight a little as she eats a lot more food!
And here is what she's doing right now:
*Claire is looking more and more like a little puppy as she crawls around. I constantly find her crawling around ,minding her own business, with a sales tag, piece of paper, sock (in fact, socks are her favorite), basically anything she can get in her mouth. She looks like a little puppy:
*Honestly, I don't know how she breathes while she sleeps sometimes. She'll lay on her tummy, bury her entire face into the mattress, and put her hands up to either side of her head. And she's STILL breathing! (I've checked...multiple times)
*Claire laughs when I roll my tongue at her. She also thinks it's funny when Jordan or I imitate her little dinosaur noises.
*She loves the swings at the park, and is actually becoming a lot more used to "strolling" around. She used to HATE being put in the stroller. Maybe because we got a new stroller?
*Claire now has bottom AND top teeth! She's bit me a couple of times, but I think I'll be OK...I'm determined to nurse her until she's a year old dangit!
*She also started smacking her lips. The first time was when I nursed her, she unlatched, looked right at me, and started doing it. It was hilarious!
*The little monkey is climbing on EVERYTHING. Pulls herself up, walks with help, etc. etc. I don't know if I can handle ANY more mobility!!!
*It is a NIGHTMARE trying to change her diaper and dress her. She wiggles around like CRAZY!! We have big fights when I want to put her clothes on. It's bad. Does this phase pass any time soon??

aren't our babies so cute? I love them! I can't believe they are this big, growing so fast... CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!
oh my gosh. that picture of claire looks EXACTLY like you! I've always thought that she takes after Jordan more, but I can totally see you in that picture. Too bad it's the picture where she's got paper in her mouth.. :)
She is so freaking cute!!
I think the clothing thing depends on the kid. McKenzie has gotten worse, now she fights me about what she wants to wear (you should see some of that girls outfits, lol), and Mark is pretty laid back and wears whatever we put on him!
She is really cute!! We cant believe that she is 9 months already...time flys!
I LOVE HER!!!! We miss you guys so much. Sydney is DYING! Claire is such a cutie pie I just want to eat her up! The off the charts for weight is nothing to be alarmed about, look at your husband! I mean not to say you don't look fabulous of course!!!! I hope I have a cute baby! I have one of each and maybe they sucked the cuteness out of us and there will be nothing left for little Dahlin (????).
