Weight/height/details:
16.4 lbs
and 27 ¼ inches at her nine month check-up – 15th percentile for
weight and 50th for height.
She’s still petite but I was super happy with her weight gain… which
isn’t really suprising sincet he child eats EVERYTHING within her reach (both
edible and inedible)
Eating:
She’s completely on formula now – anywhere from 16-24 ounces a day, just
depending on how long she’ll sit still to drink her bottle. Three meals a day and basically eats anything
I give her. The only things I haven’t
given her yet are peanut/nut butter and sweets/sugar/etc… she eats everything. There have been numerous times where Patrick
has looked at her tray and said “there’s no way she’ll eat all that” and she
proves him wrong. She also gets vocal if
food isn’t put in front of her as soon as she’s in the highchair… oh the drama…
and the saving grace of puffs to distract her for a few minutes while I get
food ready ;)
Milestones: Teeth (just two bottom ones, came in around
8.5 mos), first beach trip (July), first time away from mommy for longer than 5
hours (we went on a long weekend to FL in June), clapping, waving sometimes,
and we’re working on high fives and blowing kisses. The number one milestone – mobility! She crawled right around 8.5 months and just
took off. If speed crawling were an
Olympic sport, she’d be set. She will
Not. Sit. Still. At her My Gym class she
can’t be bothered with anything that requires sitting and listening or staying
in my lap, and she is verrryyyyy BUSY all day long J
She’s also now crusing, pulling up on tihngs, attempting stairs and most
recently thinking Sadie makes a good step stool. She will literally climb up the back of the
couch and would go over the side if she could!
Sleep:
Still bedtime around 7 and sleeps 12 hours. Her morning nap is getting shorter, but she
still takes two a day with a longer one in the afternoon. I’m actually super excited for her to give up
the morning nap but she’s definitely not ready for that yet. Still requires noise machine/bunny/paci for
sleep.
Loves/Hates:
LOVES: Sadie is still numero uno. She tries to show her her toys, share her
paci (gross but at least she’s sharing?) and is basically obsessed. I have yet to figure out how to explain
“gentle” to a baby so Sadie is not so interested in Aubrey’s obsession since it
results in a lot of pulled hair and tails… that dog should be canonized for
real. Other loves are still swings,
climbing anything she possibly can, eating, board books that have flaps she can
pull, blocks/knocking blocks down, balls, singing, clapping, the puppet show at
My Gym, her bunny, and remotes. She has
also recently discovered the air conditioning vent and is obsessed with sitting
in front of it, loves kitchen measuring cups, and tearing up magazines paper…
why do I buy toys?
HATES getting
her diaper changed/anytime she’s on her back, car rides in general, giving up
toys, being still.
Other: We are under contract for selling our
house and on a new house! Hopefully we
will be closing on both at the end of August!
So I’m trying to get myself mentally prepared for packing up the house
with a baby… she’ll probably try to
climb every box ;)
Besides that,
I’m thinking about her first birthday, which I CANNOT believe is almost
here. How on earth do I practically have
a toddler??
