Many of you know that Ila started out itty-bitty. When she was born, she was a healthy 7lbs, 5ozs, but she grew slowly and started dropping down into the single digits of growth chart percentages, and then eventually fell off the chart. All along, I'm doing all sorts of things and stressing out, hoping to be able to feed her more, but the day finally came when our doctor said we needed to start adding formula. We weren't sure how she'd take it, but all our questions went away when we saw how she DOWNED the bottle the very first time and was happy to have more! She was just hungry this whole time! (Enter significant guilt from me - as if there aren't already enough things to worry and feel guilty about as a mom...). Anyway, all this to say, that God provided for us and our girl and we thought you'd like to see her latest stats from her 9 month appointment on Tuesday (that's right, I said 9 MONTHS). We should also mention that she crawls and pulls up now. Needless to say, Dustin and I have been busy.
Weight: 21lbs and 1 oz (85% percentile!)
Height: 27 and 3/4 inches (47%)
Here are a few recent pics of little i:

Man! She sure did make up for it! Chunky monkey :) I love the rolls! I need to see her soon! She is changing too much.
