Emery's 9-Month Check-up

Emery had her 9 month check-up last week. No shots, so that was nice. She is tall, just like her brother. She weighed 19.4 oz (55%) and was 29 3/4 inches long (97%). Our only major concern was how she likes to get most of her daily calorie intake in the middle of the night (seriously - I kept track last week and she eats about 24 oz a day and about 12oz of that is at 1:00am and 6:00am). It would seem an easy task to just get her to eat more during the day, but when you can get up and feed her in 10 minutes instead of listening to her cry for who knows how long in the middle of the night (to try to get her to move her feedings during the day)...it is just much easier getting up right now. I keep telling myself, "ok, next week is the week." and then it passes. Oh well...one of these days she will be sleeping through the night.

She is teething...they are right there. On Friday, I would have bet money that they would have popped through by Monday, but still nothing yet. But this is how she looks all the time now - just sucking on her lips (massaging her gums???).
