A Loki by Any Other Name...

Loki is officially 9 months today. She spent her 9 month birthday at her 9 month check-up, which I was able to attend due to unforeseen car issues.

All went well. Miss Lo is currently 29 inches long, placing her in the 90th percentile for height, and weighing 20 lbs putting her in the 80th percentile for weight, which Dr. Hickman says works perfectly together. He has not concerns and things she is progressing wonderfully. Which of course made Mad Dog and I very happy. We have been blessed and very lucky with both of them. After the check-up it was time for the vaccinations and her first flu shot. Both she took like a champ, after her big brother showed her how to take a needle in the leg (his flu shot). 

I can't believe it's been 9 months, feels like just yesterday we brought her home. She has grown so much and is becoming a toddler so fast. I don't know how she does it, but she keeps up with Lex and not get hurt in the process. She was fighting him for his popsicle earlier. She would have won if I didn't stop the tug-of-war. He does love her. He was so worried about her when they were giving her her shots. He keep trying to get in there and help her. It was really very sweet. We like that they are growing up together. I think they will have a strong bond, which will be hard to break. I think that will make it tougher for Gigi when she is here. They're going to side with each other on things not with G. 

Like I said before I know the last 9 months have gone by so fast, and the next 3 will as well. Miss Lo is not only going to walk in those next 3 months, but she will ride on her first plane (Lex too) and attend her first comic book convention. We are gearing up for Halloween (Loki's costume is all set- some assembly required) and then her first Thanksgiving and birthday. Regardless of how fast it goes, I just love seeing her smile and love to hear that little giggle she has when Lex makes her laugh. She is living up to her namesake, which we wouldn't have it any other way!

I have said it before and will say it again, she is so sweet! My favorite part is that Mary has the same sweater :)

Thank you. I was so excited she could finally wear the sweater. I love it so much.
