9 Month Update

A few days late. :)



My big girl is likely right at 18 1/2 pounds, and we think 28-29 inches long. We'll find out exact measurements at her pediatrician appointment on Monday.

She's eating all kinds of things now, she seems to like chicken quite a bit, loves her fruit, and her favorite veggie right now is green bean. She still doesn't eat a huge amount of solid food, but she's getting it offered to her 4-5 times a day (3 "meals" and 2 snacks). She's regularly eating 12-13 oz of breastmilk at daycare now too.

She's standing by herself for 10+ seconds without holding on (today she made it to 20 seconds while I was watching), and using her walker to move. No steps by herself though, my guess is that we'll see that right around Halloween. She can crawl faster than I ever imagined, and loves climbing over things -- including Daddy and the cats.

We think she's said "Daddy" and "Mommy" and "Kitty," and she might be signing "all done." We're not sure but it's usually around the time she pulls her bib off, throws it down and makes all the signs that she's done with the high chair.

Six teeth are in, 2 are still working their way through the gums. Her hair is long enough to cover the top of her ears and is curling down her neck just a little bit. And she's sleeping better.... going to sleep more easily, and sleeping bigger chunks at night, although if she's napped poorly, this changes.

Can't believe my big girl has been out of my body longer than she was in there now! That's amazing to me.
