Brooklyn Clare,
9 months?! This month has been so much fun! Now that you are crawling everywhere you are WILD. Your morning routine involves, sprint crawling to the cat bowls to take a bath in the water, fling the food everywhere, pull Stella's tail, and then find all the cords in the house and rip them out of the wall. I mean what is happening??! When I remove you from XYZ your legs and arms are still flying. It's hilarious and yet frightening at the same time. 5 days after your 9 month birthday you really figured out how to pull to stand on everything and you are THRILLED. You also have decided you can stand without holding on to things occasionally, slow down girl! You are definitely more cautious or a perfectionist- where you brother would just go for it, you take the time to figure it all out before doing it perfectly the first time.
While you are still such a good easy baby you are a little sassy thing and are very vocal about your needs. Sassy girl. You give your brother lip a lot which is necessary because he is oh so rough with you all the time. He really loves to touch your head, give tight hugs and push you into the tunnel- all of which you hate. You two do really love playing together and have a very fun game of chase happening everyday. I love watching you two together.
You took your first set of swim lesson last month and you LOVED it! You can kick, splash, put your head in, and float (with a little help). You are a water bug just like your mama :)
This month was rough on the teething front, you how have 4 teeth, which cause you to HATE sleep and love to nurse all night long for 5 days. But now I am working really hard on making you wait 3 hours to nurse, moving to 5-6 days a day (please!!!). You are eating baby food 3x's a day, teething biscuits, puffs, we just started adding a snack which is cut up banana. Another new favorite for you is drinking water from your straw cup and then spitting it all out, over and over, and over. Recently you have been going to bed at 6:30/6:45 and getting up a little after 5!!!!!! You still take two naps, although I think you need the third you do not.
Milestones:
- Crawling all over
- Pulling to stand
- Babbling with intonation- it sounds like you are telling stories!
- Sounds- m,n,d,b,h,y, w and some vowels
- Loves: bananas, green vegetables, puffs, teething biscuits, chicken, rice, peas
- Hates: she'll eat pretty much anything if you continue
- Using your index finger to push things, turning pages in books, shaking head "no" (sassy)
Health: Nothing new!
