Mia Turns 9 Months! Stats are in!

Hello Everyone,

Mia turned 9 months yesterday. We enjoyed the day together. I basically updated you all on her current milestones. I have her current stats! We went to the Dr. today actually for her 9th month check up. She got the final series of her Hepatitis B. Yes, she cried, but I am getting to be a champ at it now. Didn't last long. Ok, she is 27.5 inches long which puts her in the 50th %ile for height and she weighs 20.9 lbs., which puts her in the 70th %ile for weight. Everything is good. We have to go to LabCorps to get some routine bloodwork done. We have until she is a year to get it done. It is for lead levels and hemoglobin levels. Something now the AAP recommends for every baby about 9 months of age. The hemoglobin checks to make sure she is not anemic. The lead to make sure she is not taking in a dangerous amount. We are not in a high risk, however, still a good idea to check. I am dreading going to this test. I know this will be difficult as they must find a vein. It is different than her standard shots. I'm definitely bringing Giacomo along!. Well, that's all for now. I will be sure to update you all with pics from her 9 month birthday and our trip to the Dr's office. Giacomo came with me and we took some pics. They are still in my camera. I download her pics every Saturday. I'll post them shortly. Take care from all of us at the Bellomo household!!
