Alayna's 9 Month Dr. Apt. & Finger Foods Dinner

So yesterday we had Alayna's 9 month dr's apt. We had it this week b/c for some reason we missed last week's :). She is officially 16.0 lbs which is only in the 10-25% for weight. And she is 27 1/2 inches long which is in the 50% for height. So, pretty much she's tall and skinny...definitely not a Lamport trait :). She got just one shot yesterday and overall did great! She now has the okay to start eating meats. The dr. said we could give her the meat we eat as long as we puree it. I do not want to puree meat! There's something weird about that. So...I think we'll be buying the jarred baby meat food.

Last night at dinner we started giving Alayna more finger foods. She's already mastered the puffs, but we decided to start giving her more. We gave her banana and like normal, she just doesn't like it! She loved the grapes though! She's now mastering cheerios and we gave her some plain graham crackers too. This is a new thing for all of us. Like normal, as each stage begins I'm not totally sure what I'm doing, but we figure it out and it becomes not such a big deal. During dinner she started clapping after she ate too! This is another fun new thing she is doing now. So we played pat a cake at dinner too. It was a long dinner :).
