Ava had her 9 month check up on Thursday (which happened to be my birthday!).
Ava is 21lbs 8oz (95th %) and 29 inches (95%) and her head I think was 46 and off the chart just like her big brother.
Developmentally she is perfect and even a little ahead for her age, but we knew that she is a Ms. Smartypants for sure
Doctor had no worries at all, such a welcomed relief after always having something going on with Logan the first two years of his life.
Ava got her last hep B shot and I think we are going to delay her MMR and Chicken Pox until her 15 month appointment. Dr. S said she was going to do it at 12 months but since my Dad is immune suppressed due to his kidney transplants when ever one of the kids gets a live virus vax such as the MMR he has to stay away from them for a whole month. They are "contagious" to someone with a weakened immune system because it is a live virus. Logan was given his MMR at 15 months so we expected Ava to get hers then as well and had kind of made tentative plans for Dad for January. To do it in October would be to hard, to many birthday parties etc and Dad would have to miss out on everything.
Ava also got a pretty nasty diaper area rash after eating a strawberry and banana combo food, so Dr.S wrote us a prescription for some lotion for her and no more strawberries for Ava until she is older. I had given her a little container a few weeks ago and she got a couple of red bumps similar to the ones she has now and thought ti might be strawberry related (strawberries are one of those touchy foods for infants) and when when I gave her the big jar of it last week she really broke out so bye bye to strawberries for now!
Next well visit is at 1 year which is only 3 months away...how is that even possible?
