I guess she has daddy's metabolism

That's a good thing because I basically have NO metabolism. I've said before that I feel like she eats a ridiculous amount of food. Like, more than I do at dinner a lot of the time, but I don't think I'm overfeeding her. Well, we went to the Dr for her fever yesterday and she weighed in at exactly 19lbs. That's a gain of a whopping 3oz from her 9 month appointment. Geez!!! We go for her 1 year appointment next week, so I'm going to check on her eating and whether she should be consuming some more good fats, but I think she's eats pretty balanced meals already....and a LOT! I'll be interested to see what the Dr says.

Sounds just like us. I have no metabolism and DH can swallow a cow whole and lose weight. Pey eats allll the time and quite healthy fatty foods and she's still the size of a 6 month old.

Her doctor keeps emphasizing how at this age their gain happens pretty slow because they are becoming so active. I'd say don't stress yourself unless her doc is concerned. Especially since you say she eats well.
