doctor's visit with no shots!

We got home from Florida, slept a little bit, got a bath, and went to the doctor--what morecan a little girl ask for!?!
The "no shot" appointments are my favorite! Today was Jordan's 9 month well check. Yes, she's 10 months old, but we are a month behind because of the ice storm. Anyways...
she weighs 20 lbs. 10 oz. (65th %ile)
she is 28 3/4 inches long (70th %ile)
her head is 46.5 cm round (90th %ile)
Doc says she is growing fine and not to worry about her big head! It doesn't really look that big to us--she was really squirmy during that part, so maybe it's a few centimeters off?!?
Dr. Stoeber is happy with the things she's doing and the things she's not. She's crawling, babbling, pulling up. She has no teeth! You can see the outline of them just waiting to come forth, but no luck yet. We really think they've been bothering her more, though, because her tongue just keeps working and working them. Yay for Orajel!
Since she has been eating yogurt and other dairy with no problem, we can start whole milk around 11 months as opposed to waiting the full year. I'm excited to see how she will do with it. She drinks water and drinkable yogurt from her straw cups just fine, so I'm hoping there won't be anything weird with milk--time will tell!
