9 month check-up

Jak went for her 9 month check-up yesterday. Below are her stats:

• Weight: 16.7 lbs - 15th percentile
• Height: 27.25 inches - 30th percentile 
• Head: 17.1 inches - 45th percentile

She is right on track for her age...actually, a little advanced when it comes to her milestones. I'm pretty sure she's a genius. It will only be a matter of time before she is writing sonatas or researching the Theory of Relativity.

9 months is such a great age. I remember thinking when my nephew, Adam, was 9 months old that it was my favorite time with him. Jak is doing so many cool things. One of her newest tricks is to fake cry when we tell her no or she wants something she knows she can't have. She scrunches her face up and looks at me or Mere and then smiles and goes for it again. We say no, and she does it again. It's become a game. We never see any tears and she is usually smiling in between her fake cries. She has learned what "no" means and she knows she does not like that word. Sorry to say she probably has a lot more years of no's coming her way.
