Nine months old! Ellery saw the doctor yesterday for her 9 month check-up. She weighed 18 lbs 14 oz, and she was 28 1/2 inches long. This is funny because she was on the chubby side when she was younger and was higher on percentiles for weight at that time. Now the scale is flipped! She was 74th percentile for height and only 45 percentile for weight. She has slowed down on eating quite a bit, but her iron count was fine (they checked that), and the doctor was pleased. She needs to get busy on learning to crawl and pull up.
Below are some pictures from the last couple weeks, labeled with what they were.

July 7th--a visit with my friend Amy (who I lived with in Lexington and who now lives in Arkansas) and her son, William. He was born in November, but he is bigger than Ellery.
