The Low End of Normal

Penny had her 9 month check up a couple days ago. She's has always been really long in the 90th percentile and lower in weight, usually around the 50th. She was really sick throwing up and couple weeks ago, so her weight sort of flat lined. Which the dr said is ok, since she was sick. She has really started eating a lot more lately, so I'm not worried about her weight.

However, Penny has not started crawling yet and she doesn't really roll over. She has rolled over a couple times and it was a few months ago. Since then, she just sort of stopped rolling. She sits up and LOVES to sit up! She ca sit up forever. But apparently by now she should be crawling or scooting around on her bottom. She doesn't do this. We try to do tummy time, but she absolutely hates it. She cries and screams the whole time. It's hard to leave her on her tummy when she gets so upset. I mean upset! Snot everywhere because she is crying so hard. So of course, I sit her up. I'm sure this doesn't help. We also hold her ALL THE TIME. She's so small and cute and it only lasts for a short time, so we hold her as much as we can. Anyway, all of this puts her on the low end of normal. I'm not even quite sure what that means. Partly it means that she will start physical therapy. The will come to our house, hopefully for free, and teach us some things to do with Penny to encourage moving around. The other thing is means is that we are really worried. Of course we want the best for her. But hearing low end of normal is very concerning. We're trying to do more tummy time. It seems to go a little better if we let her play with a phone. Hopefully we can start therapy soon an she will take off! I suppose it's time to start baby proofing!
