Nine Months Old!

Go Horned Frogs!

Running a bit late with the 9 month post, but here goes...


Stats?
About 17 lbs (?%), ? in long (?%), and ? cm head circumference.
She's in size 3 diapers and her 6-9 month clothes. Will update with more details on this after her 9 month check-up.


How is she sleeping?
Still doing well - no change since last month.


How is she eating?
She still eats solids 3 times a day and nurses close to her regular schedule during the day. She sometimes goes on eating strikes, where she'll only eat cereal and yogurt. Otherwise, she's done well with everything and has tried a decent variety of baby food. She seems to be going through a growth spurt right now; she's eating a LOT. She's made a lot of progress on finger foods. Most of them end up in her mouth and she really likes them. She's also began to master her sippy cup and straws. It's still a bit dribbly, but doing really well. We're very thankful for that as it should enable us to transition her to the sippy when we wean her.


Doctor Visit
I'll update this after we go for her 9 month check-up. I had a little issue making the appointment so she's running a couple weeks late on this.


What new tricks does she do?
She's still not crawling, but is getting close - lots of rolling, scooching, rocking, etc. She's standing really well while holding on to something, sometimes even one handed. She'll pull up onto me (with some extra help), but not on other objects. I can tell she really wants to crawl and walk, but just can't quite figure out how to make her body do that. Poor thing gets so frustrated sometimes. Verbally, she's continued to progress, but nothing definitively new since last month.


General Observations?
We're still waiting on those top teeth and have come to the conclusion that teething is a beating.
She doesn't seem so small anymore, but she's still our itty bitty.
Her smiles and giggles still light up my world.
Tiny Tots and Tunes is going really well this time around. She's starting to interact with the other kids a lot more.
We also started going to story time at our library and then playing with some toys there with some of the other babies from story time. She seems to like that too. She is a very social baby.


Until next time...



Special thanks to Aunt Terah for the pom pom headband and to Cathy and Erica Brown for the cute TCU outfit and bear!
