9th month checkup

''Goodnight, little bunny. I'm going to bed soon", said baby Sheri.

Last Friday, we brought little Sheri to her 9th month check-up. She is now 30 inches (75 cm) long, and she weighs 19 pounds and 4 ozs (9kg). To give us a better idea of where she stands among her peers, Dr Linderman showed us that little Sheri is now at the 90 percentile in terms height and 55 percentile in terms of weight. So, it seems that little Sheri is not gaining sufficient weight to keep her weight on the 75 percentile that she used to be during her 6th month check-up. Dr Linderman advised us to give little sheri more milk as she is only drinking 9 ozs of milk a day. According to her, this is far too little as she should be drinking 24 ozs of milk everyday. So, mommy has to think of a way to increase little Sheri's intake of milk. I decided to add milk to the stock solution during lunch and dinner. Well, this may not sound very appetizing for us, but little Sheri does not seem to mind. By doing this way, I can, at the very least, increase her milk intake by another 4 ozs. Hopefully, she will not fall below the median weight in her next check-up.

We finally upgraded little Sheri to a high back booster seat last Saturday. This will be her new car seat from now onwards.
