July 22nd, Peyton turned 9 months old. Since our last entry she has learned to stand on her own, walk behind her push piano & gotten another ear infection. Since this is the 4th one since March, Peyton will be going to see an ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) specialist August 24th to make sure we don't need tubes. At her 9 month checkup she weighed in at 18.4 pounds and 29 inches long. Her percentiles are exactly the same as when she was 6 months (95% for height and 50% for weight). Dr. Patel said she is likely going to be tall and skinny and mommy is sure hoping so for Peyton's sake. The nurse calls Peyton a "string-bean" when she weighs her since she is lighter than most of the babies they see.
Peyton is getting so active that she has had a couple of "accidents" at daycare. She was playing "take the toy away from your boyfriend" and pulled so hard she whacked herself in the face and got a little boo boo. Yesterday she slipped and hit her chin & forehead on the shelves. Peyton also appears to be pretty tough as she was seen tackling one of the older kids (1 1/2 years) to get the toy they had taken from her. Norma, her caregiver, had to laugh when she saw this happen
Peyton has been to Peddler's Village in PA & met one of mommy's former coworkers, Lynne. Last weekend she went down to the Jersey shore. She was the hit of the gathering & had several women at her beck-n-call. She also had a great time playing with her new friend Lucas who is only a few weeks younger than she is.
