Taylor's nine-month check up was so good! She is still on track with the 90th percentile! We are up to just under 22 pounds. The doctor said she's a 14-month-size baby! Way to go, Tay! Developmentally, she is right on track for her age. She is babbling, waving, pulling up and cruising along the furniture, and eating big girl foods! Now that she is proficient in picking up small pieces of food she is much less interested in puree baby food and wants to feed herself, so she is eating more "real" food these days. At the check up Taylor was so interested in the exam table paper and also the bandaid on her finger. She thought that bandaid was just the coolest thing! So much so that she didn't mind being poked in the finger for the blood test. She did get her shots which is always so hard for both of us. She usually cries the whole way home after getting her vaccines. This time on the way home she had a special surprise for mommy. When I put her into her car seat I always give her a couple of toys on her lap to keep her busy (as she still cries when she gets buckled into the seat). Along the way home I heard her gag... which she does from time to time when she puts a toy too far into her mouth. This is what I assumed was happening and we were pulling into the neighborhood by that time. When I got home and opened the back door I discovered she had pulled a bandaid of her leg and had it in her mouth. Oh my gosh!!!!! She really could have choked!!!! Lesson learned.
