Baby Crumpet at 9 months

Baby Crumpet is 9 months old today!

She is tall (29 & 1/4 inches) and solid (28 1/2 pounds). Hard to believe she was once so tiny when she came 4 weeks early.

As newborn babies do - she has had her share of various illnesses - almost as if she has get all of them out of the way to build her immunity. She currently has eczema - a rash on the face which is easily cured by putting jock itch cream (!). Last week she had pink eye - then the usual colds & fevers. Do not be alarmed - I think this is all quite normal for babies - overall she is very healthy, eats like daddy and is always smiling, laughing & playing.
