Delia at 9 months with lots of parental guilt


Here's her stats:

Weight:  14lbs. 6oz. (3rd percentile)
Length: 26 in.  (10th percentile)
Head: 41.5 (3rd percentile)

So, as you can see (if you have the most amazing memory in the entire universe) our petite little girl didn't grow at all and gained very little since her last check-up (thus parental guilt in title).  Just like her big bro, Delia is a PICKY EATER. 

Besides MILLIONS of Cherrios and formula, she hardly ever eats anything.  It's incredibly frustrating and she's usually a grump- most likely because she's hungry.  What's a parent to do?  She's surrounded by yummy, healthy food, but flat out refuses to eat it.


Moving onto the cute pictures... at least she's a cutie:

Sweet piggy-tails


Grumpiness aside, she really is a delight.  She LOVES attention and tickles and songs- especially if any of them involve Ivy and Hyrum.  She isn't crawing yet, but inches closer every day (maybe some nutrients in her body might help).   She loves being out and about, probably because it involes hundreds of people cooing at her and RAVING about her cuteness.  We couldn't imagine our family without her.  We love you Delia!

Oh, I just love that baby girl! She is just so darling. And every time I look at her I just can't help but smile. I'm sorry she's such a picky eater, thats really difficult. But you shouldn't feel any guilt, you are a wonderful mother. And she is just as she should be. :) She will be crawling soon! Thats so much fun! I love it when they crawl, they gain such independence and it sometimes gives your back a break. Love her, love you! It makes me want to cry to think that you guys will be gone soon. And what will poor Camri do in school with no Ivy June Trump to play with?! I can't think about it yet....

Oh my goodness, the word "adorable" doesn't even cover it! She is just too, too, too cute. I loved the piggies. Sorry about the picky eating, it's such an emotional, difficult thing for a mom when your kid won't eat. Meals used to be my absolute WORST part of the day with Jack because he wouldn't eat and I would feel so much stress about it. Good luck...there's just no real solution to that one. :-(
