Mireya is 9 months old. She had her wellness visit with her pediatrician and he said she is doing very well. Her weight was on the low end, but he said that was normal for a baby her age, because she is so mobile. These are her statistics:
Weight: 16 lbs 9 oz, 12 percentile
Height: 27.5 in, 47 percentile
Head Circumference: 17 in, 26 percentile
Mireya is doing so many new things these days. As mentioned in a previous post, she has started to scream - loudly. It's not because she's upset. She's usually happy when she does it. Well, we were at Joann's Fabric Store the other day, and she decided to start screaming, and wouldn't stop. We ran into a woman with a preteen son who said "They never stop. It's cute at that age, but not so much at this age."
She also mimics other kids, like when we're at the grocery store. She'll hear a kid cough, so she'll start coughing. Or, one will babble, so she'll start babbling.
Mireya can clap! She loves it. She claps all the time now.

She is waiving hello and goodbye. She first started by just putting her arm out, sort of reaching with her hand. Then she started waving her whole arm up and down. Now she waves with her wrist.
Let's see...what else...Oh, she has almost walked. She has been pulling herself up to standing in her playpen for weeks now. Lately, she has been walking around the perimeter, holding on to the side, sometimes with one hand. Well, she now will let go and just stand there, with no hands. She'll then plop down on her behind. She's tried to take some steps while not holding on, but hasn't really done so yet.
