Maddie had her 9 month checkup and the pediatrician was very happy with how she's doing! Her illness seems to have passed as quickly as it arrived and she never broke out into a rash. She weighed in at 15 pounds 1 ounce, which puts her at the bottom of the weight chart, but she had a growth spurt and is perfectly average in height at 27 1/2". Her head size is 30%.
The doctor was very impressed how Maddie is walking around . On her standard form, there isn't even a checkbox for walking like that at her age, just crawling and cruising. She also wrote that Maddie is an excellent eater after we described the amount of food she eats every day and she witnessed Maddie down 2/3 of a banana while we were in the exam room. She thinks Maddie has a fast metabolism.
She also instructed Jessica to try reintroducing dairy into her diet to see if Maddie is able to digest it! Jessica was nervous, but we went to celebrate that night by stuffing ourselves with sicilian pizza!
Maddie's top teeth seem to be coming in, albeit very slowly. They've been keeping her up at night several times this week.
