9 month check-up

Alexis had her nine month check-up a few days ago. She's now 19 lbs 11.5 oz (65th percentile) and 29.5 inches (95th percentile). The doctor said she's still on the growth path to be between 5'10" and 5'11" as an adult. She got the final of her hepatitis B shots and had some blood tests done (she didn't even make a sound when they took her blood, just gave the nurse a dirty look). The doctor said everything was perfect, and he gave us the go ahead to feed her regular table food (with a few key exceptions). Here are some pictures of her first encounter with "regular" food. She had apple juice and scrambled egg yolks (egg whites are on the list of foods to avoid - especially since Daddy is allergic to eggs).
You wouldn't know it from this picture, but after the juice, she was on a complete sugar high! Luckily it only lasted a little while.

She wasn't real sure what to think, at first, but she definitely seemed to enjoy it by the end.
