Grow up this big already?!
Nine months goes by so quickly, and I have loved every stage of her life so far (yes, even the early days when she ate every two hours and the nights were long and sleepless). I am fascinated at how much she learns, how much she changes, how much she captures my heart each and every day. And I LOVE this nine month stage!!
Taylor, at nine months, here is what you are up to!!
You are...
** Wearing 9-18 month clothes, but mostly 12 month items, and size 3 diapers
** Rolling front to back, and back to front
** CRAWLING!! This milestone came just one week ago, and it is so much fun to see you enjoy this independence (not to mention how much I love the moments when you will look up from playing, see daddy or myself, and crawl right over to our laps for some loving and hugs :-))
** Going to bed between 6:45 and 7:15pm without a peep (after some milk and a little rocking with mommy, one of my favorite parts of the evening), waking up sometimes between 4-6am for a feeding, then waking up for the morning around 7am
** Napping once in the morning (usually 45 minutes), and once in the afternoon (sometimes for 2 and 1/2 hrs!)
** Nursing/taking a bottle 4 times a day, with solid feedings at breakfast, lunch and dinner (you LOVE any fruit, and are a pretty big fan of veggies pureed with turkey or chicken)
** Getting better at eating puffs and other small finger foods (cheese, bread, crackers, small soft veggies, soft pieces of fruit)
** Loving your pacifier, especially at naptime and bedtime, and if you find a paci laying around, you don't hesitate to pick it up and put it in!
** Very excited at bath time - it is a great time of splashing, splashing, splashing! You don't seem to mind if water gets in your face or eyes, and just keep on splashing!
** Pulling up to your knees, and with a little assistance, can get to your feet
** No signs of any teeth yet!
** Can clap on command, she loves clapping!
** Talk and chatter like crazy when playing with your toys. We love to watch how focused you can be!
** Giggle and laugh when mommy and daddy give you crazy hugs and kisses, or play peek-a-boo :-)
Pictures!
Look at those cheeks!
Finding your pacifier
(Doesn't even matter if you put it in upside down :-))
Playing on the bathroom floor while mommy gets ready for work (little tired eyes :-))
Eating - very focused on getting those little bits of food pinched between your fingers
Trying to get the nine month pictures
(Not so easy anymore!)
Such a big girl!
Playing with Brady's football (thanks for sharing your toys, Brady!)
Getting loved on by mommy and daddy
We have her 9 month appointment next week, and it will be exciting to see how much she has grown since her 6 month check up!
We love you SO MUCH baby girl!!
