She's Not an Elephant, Folks

I took Lily to her 9-month checkup today. I had gotten so used to going to the doctor and seeing the nurses' jaw-dropped faces when they read the scale.... so imagine my surprise when Miss Lily only gained a pound! She's just over 20 lbs and a whopping 29 inches long. Since she's moving around so much lately, she's starting to become quite the bean pole. Our doctor's reaction was "She had to taper off at some point... otherwise she'd be an elephant."

So it seems even though she is still eating a ton (she had a rather healthy portion of pot roast, potatoes and carrots all smashed together for dinner just now), there's no indication she's going to develop her own konobaa just yet...
