9 Months!

Can you believe Nora is 9 months old already?!?  Sometimes it's easy to believe...and sometimes it's not.  Time flies, but I am lucky enough to spend each day home with her so I get to soak it all in!

Super Nora!  This is how she woke up the other day after her morning nap. =)

In her Christmas hat

Feeding herself (Yes!)

Peek-a-boo Santa

At her 9 month check up the doctor said she's healthy!  She's growing steadily physically and developmentally.  We can't ask for more!  =)  She is now 19 lbs 8 oz (50-75%ile) and 28 inches tall (50-75%ile).  Her head is growing (thanks to her band) is now 43.5 cm (25-50%ile).  She did get part one of the flu shot and she didn't even make a whine!  She's a trooper!
Here's her at the doctor's office:
After the flu shot, waiting...

We still go every 2 weeks to the Cranial Tech office for her DOC band check up.  She continues to grow like they predicted.  It's estimated she'll get her band off in a month or so.  You wouldn't believe how much her head has rounded out.  It's filled in on the back, especially at the bottom by her neck.  Her facial features are all aligned and symmetrical.  This means that we're mostly working on cosmetics now and making it look the best it can!  We are extremely pleased with the therapist and workers at Cranial Tech and her band!

Here are a couple of pictures of her there:

Always digging in my purse these days!

She loves playing around in the room

  2. So cute! Glad to hear her head is growing properly and the head band has been helpful.
