Ishi had her 9th month doctor visit on Saturday (July 23). She was given a clean bill of health and development. Growing more in weight (8kgs) than height (66cms), but sticking to her growth curves. My mom says she is definitely bigger as compared to either me or Tuki. I hope she takes her body structure (tall and lean) from her dad's family!
He mentioned her forehead fused bone, but since her head circumference and development were normal, said there was nothing to it. Her skewed smile (due to depressor anguli oris muscle) was deemed cosmetic and something that she would learn to control with time. She was doing just fine. In fact he was amazed at her diet, that she was actually eating all veggies and had even tried to eat roti! He gave the go ahead for 1 egg/day and 3-4 mashed nuts. He also suggested soup/juice, but we haven't been able to work it into her diet plan yet. Egg is now standard breakfast. Left overs go to Nero, who now has discovered Ishi has a source of more people food. We've even seen Ishi deliberately drop bits of food and watch him eat! But then she drops/flicks off everything on her tray table while eating!
9 months also brought measles vaccine. Her first live vaccine and now the site changed to her arm instead of her thigh. Daddy held her, I distracted her with a toy, while Dr Gogia quickly inoculated her. She screwed up her face to cry but barely cried for more than half a minute, while daddy quickly soothed her as we went back to our seats. She is such a brave and good baby! We were told that as a live virus, we may see some rash/fever symptoms 4-10 days from the vaccination, but should disappear within 24-48 hours. It is the 4th day today...so far so good! :)
