9 month checkup

Cailin had her 9 month checkup today. She is 17 1/2 pounds now! That's a 2 1/2 pound gain since her last appointment. They tested her for anemia, but she is negative. The doctor said that her social skills are excellent, which anyone whose ever been around Cailin for more than 5 seconds knows that. She said her motor skills are also excellent and to make sure the house is baby proofed because now that she's crawling, a whole new world is in reach.





Next week Cailin will go to daycare for the first time all day while Mama starts her first day of work for new teachers but it will only be for one day. Starting on the 18th, she'll be going full time. We visited the daycare yesterday so she could get to know the teachers and the other babies while having the security of Mama being there. She had fun but never strayed too far away from me. I suspect is won't be long before she starts telling all the other babies how it is and being "the boss". I'm heartbroken to have to leave her and go back to work but I know that Cailin will make lots of friends and will love all the new toys and people. It will just be me whose a mess :)
