NINE Months of Cuteness

You are nine months old!

 

You are full of life and smile all the time.

You have beautiful blue eyes just like your dad. I think you are starting to look more and more like him.

~ You do not have any teeth

~ you are not crawling, but instead roll to get where you are going

~ You are down to 2 naps a day... a morning nap at 9 am for 1 hour and afternoon nap at 1:30 for at least 2 hours

~you eat 7 ounces and take 5 bottles a day. We feed you pureed food 3 times a day.

~You have started drinking out of a sippee cup

~ you sleep all night usually for 11 hours.

~ You still do not like to be rocked at night, and instead like to just be laid down in your crib.  Your dad and I often will got get you up out of bed after you're asleep to rock you. Its about the only time you are still.

~You wave bye bye

~ you give hi fives, kisses, and clap when we say "yay"

~ you say "mama" and "dada"  You started saying "mama" first, the day after you turned 8 months old

~ you blow raspberries, click your tongue, and smack your lips

~ you spit up less and less each month, but still seem to have to change clothes (as do I) about 3 times a day

~ I can hardly believe you've been with us for 9 months! I just scheduled your 1 year pictures which is nearly impossible to fathom

~ you LOVE your grandparents.  You are especially attached to your Cece right now. When she is around, you want nothing to do with anyone else... including me!

~Last week, you started going to your friend Carson's house three days a week.  Kaitlyn has been keeping you this summer and keeps you and Carson over there on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  It's been great because I get a lot of work done on those days without having to leave the house.

~I say it every month, but you are SO happy. I feel so blessed to be the mom of such a happy, easy baby!

 

Happy 9 months, baby girl!
