Abi had her 9 month check-up today. \u00c2\u00a0 She is ahead of the curve on some of her gross motor skills such as cruising.\u00c2\u00a0 She is also advanced in certain aspects of cognitive development.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, it is early for her to understand object permanence (i.e., that an object or person exists even though she cannot see it at the moment).\u00c2\u00a0 It is also advanced for her to use “mama” as something beyond a nonsense word is fairly early.\u00c2\u00a0 We believe \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mama\u00e2\u20ac\u009d means \u00e2\u20ac\u0153feed me now\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and\/or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153play with me, Mommy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
She is a little below average in height, and the doctor thinks that she will be around average height.\u00c2\u00a0 She is also below average in weight.\u00c2\u00a0 Given her cognitive & motor development, the doctor is not concerned about her growth.<\/p>\n
Her diet should now include all foods besides nuts, honey, and shellfish. \u00c2\u00a0She should be eating the same or similar food as we do, in addition to formula and\/or breast milk.\u00c2\u00a0 She can stop drinking formula at 12 months, but can continue to breastfeed as long as she & Mommy want.<\/p>\n
The doctor also indicated that she seems to have a milder case of stranger anxiety than most babies her age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
