9 Months


It's hard to believe my sweet little girl is already 9 months old! She really is the joy of our lives! 

At nine months, miss E...
  • hardly ever cries! (A huge difference from her younger days)
  • still HATES the car seat!
  • still loves bath time more than any other time in the day.
  • wants so badly to play with Rex but he still will not go near her. 
  • sleeps 11-12 hours each night.
  • is getting better at naps but usually only sleeps for about 45 min in the morning and an hour or so in the afternoon. 
  • has her two bottom front teeth and the top two are almost through. The last few nights have been so fun!
  • LOVES to play peek-a-boo by putting anything over her eyes.
  • throws things, especially her bink, just to watch me pick it up.
  • gives kisses and high fives. 
  • is trying so hard to crawl and has become very good at slithering herself around on her tummy. 
  • is standing more and more. (I am beginning to think she may never crawl, I never crawled and went right to walking at 11 months)
  • has very POOFY hair!
  • loves her Baby Einstein DVDs.
  • hates baby food. Refuses to eat anything mommy and daddy are not eating.
  • is great at drinking out of a sippy cup.
  • gets SO excited when daddy comes home from work. 
  • scares easily at sudden loud noises. 
  • LOVES ice cream and frozen yogurt. 
  • pulls my hair non-stop and laughs when I say "ouch."
  • is not biting yet. (Thank heavens!)
  • loves to people watch. 
  • talks in her sleep. 
  • loves her cousins and already has a special bond with Megan.
  • hits anything and everything. 
  • says mama and dada. 
  • loves to hang up-side-down.
  • is still wearing some of her 3-6 months clothes but has mostly moved on to 6-9 months.
  • wears size 3 diapers.
  • weighs in at 18 lb and is 27 in long.
