9 months - already?!?

Ava had her 9 month check up today. I was excited that no shots were scheduled, but I still couldn't believe that my baby was having her 9 month old check up already! Isn't she suppose to stay a baby forever?

Her measurements were as follows:

Weight - 16 pounds (15%)
Height - 26 inches (8%)
Head size - 18 inches (90%)

I've come to terms that she will always have a large head and as the doctor puts it, "Will not be the tallest kid in school". I mean, come on, have you seen her parents?

Im sad and excited at the same time that Ava is almost 1 years old. Im excited to plan her first birthday party, but sad that my baby girl is growing up. Before I know it she'll be telling me she hates me and asking for the keys to the car.

But until then, I will smother her with kisses every chance I get before she thinks they're "gross".

  1. Actually, if she's smart. She'll tell you she hates you AFTER she gets the keys to the car. Have you forgotten so soon? :-) That's why I like having a small dog. He'll be small forever and love me unconditionally. Although, he'll probably only live to be like 12, which is one of the saddest thoughts I've ever had.

  2. I believe that she and Nolan will share the Carter noggin curse, so they can console one another when we have Hobbit get togethers and my husband towers over all of us.
