Well. My sweet baby girl isn't such a baby anymore. These 9 months have gone by in a hurry and I feel like I am missing out on something in her life even though I'm not. I have been so lucky to work early mornings (4-8) and be able to be with her from the time she wakes up to the time she goes to bed. I'm grateful not to miss out on her life... These moments are so very precious to me. :)
Here is some info about her in this last month.
 |
| At a Halloween/B-day Party. All dressed up! |
- She just had her 9 month check up. She weighs 17lbs 1oz, she's 26.5 inches tall, and her head is 17 inches around. (don't know the stats this time. Doc didn't tell me) But he said she looks perfect as always and is following her growth chart very well so she is still smaller than average.
- She now has two teeth (bottom ones). Cutting them wasn't too bad except that she refused to eat any solids really. In the mornings she would take a few bites and then I think it just hurt her so she would only drink her milk no matter how hard I tried to get her to eat. She is also starting to get her two top teeth (I think). They have dropped down, but now its the waiting game again.
- Speaking of eating... she loves normal food! I give her bits and pieces of animal crackers or cheese nips or bread or ice cream or yogurt. But still that is not enough. She stares at me constantly when I am eating. She starts to grunt and reaches out to tell me that she wants some. Sometimes she gets angry at me for not sharing. And even when she is already scarfing down a piece in her mouth she is already begging me for more. Its cute, but its hard to teach her that I can't give her everything.
 |
| SO hard to say "NO" to this face! She's too cute! |
- She can stand up on her own. Lets just say I had to find out the hard way. (For other moms out there, put your crib down long beforehand. Even if your baby shows no indication of being able to stand on his/her own.Better safe then sorry.)
- She still doesn't crawl, but she scoots really fast. She has crawled like 4 moves, but I assume she still thinks she can get around faster by scooting. lol.
- When she gets excited or really happy she bounces up and down and all around.

| Playing with Grandpa Wayment :) |
- I have been teaching her things on the face like mouth, eyes, nose, cheeks, ears. I point to them on me and then I point to them on her. One day when I would say nose (without any pointing) she would raise her hand and point her finger at my nose. She did it with the mouth and eyes, but she still doesn't understand ears or cheeks. I play this game with her everyday and I can't believe how smart she is! Doc said she was advanced in this way because most kids don't learn that until after they are 1. Only problem is she gets distracted really easy so she doesn't always want to play that game.
 |
| Swimmin with Daddy. Can't tell in this pic, but she had lots of fun. |
- She likes swimming and bath time a lot now. (She used to hate having her head get wet at all). Now she splashes over and over and over anytime I have her in water.
- She's been going through a bit of a separation anxiety phase lately. Not too fun. Even if I am in the room with her she will sometimes get angry at me for setting her down instead of holding her.

| My little water baby. :D |
 |
| Reaching up to Grandpa's face |
- She tries to walk if I hold her hands!
- She baby talks all the time. She is back to saying mama now, but dada is still her favorite one to say. She usually only says mama when she is crying. (She knows who comes to the rescue lol. )
- She claps her hands AND her feet.
- She is getting better at waving "hi" and "goodbye" on cue versus just whenever.
- She can feed herself little "treats" and tries to feed herself with a spoon. Its almost impossible to keep the spoon away from her and once she has it she has a death grip on it.
