Tink's 9 month checkup
Well, Tink had her checkup today - she's lost a little weight, now that she rolls everywhere (still not crawling)... She's 20 pounds, and 38.5 inches tall, and 46 cm around the noggin. The doc says she's 80th percentile for height, 70th for weight, and 50th for her head. Last checkup she was 80/90/50, so she's right where she ought to be, her head and height are still in proportion, and she's starting to lose her baby fat.
Her eczema is acting up a bit though, with this icky weather, and the doctor suggested this:
Instead of soap in the bath, use baby oil. First put some in the water like bubble bath, and then when you wash her up with the cloth, put baby oil on it instead of soap. Only use soap on her hair, and do that last, and take her out of the water right afterwards.
I'd never thought to do that before, so we'll try it.
Also, Pan, Tink, and I got our flu shots - their daddy is due to go in at 4 after work for his. Joy.
