I took London in for her 9 month check-up yesterday. She weighs 20 lbs, 10 oz, and is 26 1/2 inches tall. She is in the 15% for height and 80% for weight, which makes her not very tall, but chubby as can be. When they told me her weight I have to admit I was taken aback a little... none of our other three kids were even 20 pounds on their first birthday! She has yet to start crawling, and is completely content to just sit and play with toys or look at books. I was a little concerned considering that Brighton started crawling at 6 months, Chelsea could pull herself up to stand before nine months, and Siena was cruising up and down stairs at this age. But our pediatrician (a.k.a. Uncle Craig) had a good point-- why would she feel the need to crawl or stand when she has three older siblings waiting on her hand at foot? There is no question this baby gets all the attention and entertainment she wants. She makes us all happy with her cute babbling and giggling. She is seriously the happiest and easiest baby around.
A lot of people have commented that she looks different from her siblings, so I thought it would be fun to compare. I dug out everyone's 9-month-old pictures, and when you put them side-by-side, I think she looks a lot like her sisters and brother, with just more hair:

She is so cute, Lisa! I love her darker hair and her beautiful eyes. And I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for chubby babies. She is seriously darling -- I can't believe she is already 9 months old, though! Crazy how quickly they grow up. Love to you all.
She is SO BEAUTIFUL! And that hair is unbelievable. Way more than Norah. I like the comparison photos. I think she looks just like Chelsea, but with blue eyes. You just have the most beautiful kids. I miss them!!!
She is getting so big. I love her little smile.
She is such a little sweetheart! I think she looks most like Chelsea, but with blue eyes.
