Stats?
About 17 lbs (?%), ? in long (?%), and ? cm head circumference.
She's in size 3 diapers and her 9 month clothes.
(We'll have more complete stats at her 1 year well-baby visit.)
How is she sleeping?
The only big change from last month is that we are completely off the swaddle which is really nice. We started by eliminating it at nap times a while back and took it away overnights sometime in the last month or two. I'm glad we waited until she gave us signs that she was ready because it went very smoothly.
How is she eating?
She loves finger foods and I feel that she will be ready for self feeding soon (though I'm not sure I'm ready for the mess that entails). She also loves her sippy cup and can chug down the contents in record speeds. During the day, it seems that she prefers the sippy cup over nursing, so we probably need to re-focus on nursing again. We may also be dropping one of the day feedings soon.
Doctor Visit
No check-ups until 1 year. She gets her flu shot booster next month, but that's it.
What new tricks does she do?
She army crawls.
She's still good at standing and pulling up on Mommy and Daddy.
She is what I would call "a novice cruiser". She walks while holding our hands and she will cruise down the length of furniture, but doesn't quite turn corners on the furniture or transition frequently between objects. Chasing the cats has been good motivation for her walking skills.
She waves hello and goodbye (sometimes).
She giggled so much the other day that she snorted. :)
Verbally, she's babbling away. I keep trying to figure out if she's got any speech patterns, but can't tell yet. She sorta flaps her arms when she's done eating, so I think that's her sign for "all done". We're working on signs for "more", "eat" and "milk", but nothing yet.
General Observations?
Her top two center teeth have broken through and the two on either side are coming in quick too.
I can't believe that it's time to get a jump on planning her first birthday party!!
Where did the time go?!?!?!
Until next time... enjoy Naomi's high kick routine!

That's cute. Maybe she will be on drill team when she gets older!
Thanks Monica! That would be cool. We had one other pic with her leg a little higher, but hubby said it bordered on inappropriate. :) She is certainly a camera ham!
