Sienna's 9 month stats

Sienna had her 9 month checkup today.  The highlights: 

• We have a lovely, larger than life daughter.  She is 20 lbs, 8 oz.  That is the 85th percentile. [When Brae was 9 months, he weighed 19.5 lbs, which was the 40th percentile for boys]. 
• She is 29 inches.  That is the 95th percentile.  [When Brae was 9 months, he was 28.5 inches, which was the 60th percentile for boys]. 
• She has 8 teeth, with two more on the way.  [When Brae was 9 months, he still only had 2]
• She is extremely strong.  The doctor noticed that even on her first day of life when he remarked that she had very good muscle tone.  She can pull a tall TV tray (with food on it) across the floor.  This is particularly troublesome when the food on the tray belonged to Brae and he was trying to eat it. 
• She has been crawling since 8 months, and has been pulling herself up for the last several weeks.  She is just starting to do some cruising.  I think she'll be walking by age 1.  
• She loves her pureed food, but solids not so much.  When I try to give her something small, even Cheerios, she will often gag.  The doctor said she has a very strong gag reflex.  If she's still not readily manipulating solid foods in her mouth and swallowing by age 1, we may need to see a specialist. 
• She's a great sleeper and napper.  12 hours at night, and 2 naps during the day of 45 minutes - 3 hours.  
• What I can gauge about her personality so far: she's extremely physically active and curious; she loves her brother; she's a friendly child, but is not effusive or gregarious like Brae; she loves baths; she loves being outdoors; she really does not like it when Brae takes away her toys. 

Love this girl.
