Growing, growing...

Though her actual 9-month birthday isn't until Thursday (when we will be headed to Melbourne for a visit with grandparents), Caroline celebrated early with a visit to the pediatrician.

All reports were great! She is right on track and growing and developing perfectly.

She did insist that she could eat Dr. Bhatt's stethoscope and mom and dad had to change that paper-thing that covers the exam table a few times after she ripped it to shreds, but no real damage to her or any office equipment. So, we count that as success!

The stats:

• 30.5" tall (or "long" depending on the lingo you prefer)
• 21 lbs, 6 oz
• head circumference of 18"

She remains off-the-charts in height/length, and is in the 85th percentile for weight and 90th for head size. Of course, she is off-the-charts in cuteness and sweetness* as far as we're concerned too.
