9 Month Check Up

Today was Mylie's 9 month check up at the doctors office. NO SHOTS TODAY! Yeah! They did prick her finger to draw some blood. They are checking her iron and lead levels. The lead check is new because of all the lead in toys that were recalled. I am grateful that they are checking for that. But, I am disappointed in the girls at the lab. They put a band aid with cotton underneath on a baby's finger. This was at the end of the appointment, so we were on the way out the door. That is an obvious chocking hazard. The girl did not even mention this as we were leaving. Many people will put their baby in the car seat in the back with no one else back there. Babies instinctively put their fingers in their mouth, witch would cause this problem. I was very upset, and removed the band aid on the way home. Anyway, Mylie weighed 20 lbs and 7 oz. She was 26.75 inches and very healthy!

Wednesday was her 9 month pictures at McAfee in Morrison, TN. If you need a place to have pictures made, that is the place to go. They are wonderful with babies and children. Their pictures are amazing. I have yet to be disappointed in their work. We always have trouble deciding which pictures to order. If you have a little girl between 3 and 6 they are starting the spring fairy special. If you haven't seen these pictures you need to. I could not find any examples on their website, but contact them I am sure they will let you see some.

Hope everyone is well and having a great week! It's almost Friday!
