Wow Little Girl!! You are NINE MONTHS OLD!!! :)
You are growing like crazy! When we went to the doctor last week for your ear infection you weighed 18.3 pounds! That was less than at your six month appoint. Your daddy and I feel like you weigh more, so I'm really not sure if the scale was right at the doctor's office. But we go back again in a week for your actual nine month well baby check up!
Your eating schedule is interesting right now. You decided you were done eating purees this month. Which I really don't mind because now I don't have to mess with blending food. However, you barely eat anything. But you're not fussy so you must know when you want to eat. You eat corn,graham crackers, peas, carrots, macaroni, green beans, pasta, beef, cheeto puffs, bananas, apples, and other things.... You eat a bottle at 6:00 am, breakfast (applesauce and oatmeal) at 8:30, a bottle at 10:30 (only when you're at Jodi's - you don't have this bottle at home), lunch at 12:00 which is usually a combination of different foods you like to feed yourself!, a bottle at 1:30, snack at 3:15, dinner at 5:00, bottle at 8:30, and sometimes a half bottle in the middle of the night.
You are still taking your bottles just fine, but you really fight eating your food sometimes...maybe I should try purees again...? Dr. Nichols said it was fine as long as you were eating your bottles!
You're sleeping pretty good! You wake up at 6:00, then take a nap on the way to Garnett from 7-7:30, Then sometimes you take a morning nap at Jodi's, then your afternoon nap from 12:30-3:00, then sometimes a nap back to Ottawa from 4:-4:30, then usually a 30 min evening nap before 7, then to bed around 9:00. You are in a bad habit of waking up at least once in the night. But that's okay!
You are pulling up on EVERYTHING! You started to walk with your walker!
You are blowing kisses like a pro!
Really all your milestones are pretty much the same as at 8 months, the only difference is you are a lot stroger at all of them!
I'm pretty sure you understand what "all done" means in sign language. You do it back to me, and then when I walk away to get a wash cloth you throw a fit. You know that when I sign "more" it is importat but I'm not 100% sure you've figured it out!
You hit your head all the time! I think you fall or bump in to something around 5-10 times a day!! You poor thing! You cry and need some lovin and then you're fine!
You are wearing anywhere between 6 month and 12 month clothing! Some 6 month clothes are too short for you, but they fit your width. However, your cousin Bekkah's hand-me-downs size 12 fit you pretty good. If they're new clothes size nine months are fitting you pretty perfect! : ) You are wearing size 2 shoes, and size 3 diapers!
You know the word "no". You will typically stop what you're doing when we say "no" and you just crawl away. If was say it with an angry tone you cry. And sometimes you just don't want to stop and then you throw a tantrum/ft because we stop you!
You have a TOOTH!!! You have 1 1/2 teeth right now! :) You are so funny you always have your finger in your mouth playing with your new teeth! You just can't figure out what they are!
Oh, and you cut your fingers today. We're not sure how. You were playing right by the kitchen, we were playing with you/talking with you and when your daddy picked you up your fingers were bleeding....you weren't too sure what to think about those bandaids! :)
Little girl, I say it every month. We're very lucky to have you! Even Dr. Nichols was like - this is fussy!? She seems fine to me! I was like, yes, I know we're lucky - her fussy is another baby's happy! :) And we're lucky we can take you pretty much anywhere - you just do so good!! We started to go to the Lady Braves Basketball games this month! You do pretty good sitting for so long at those games!
I look forward to decorating for Christmas this next month and celebrating all the holidays with you!! I hope I can instill a love for Christmas in you like your Mimi did me!!
Love you Little Girl,
MOMMY
