Nine Month Update

Nine months old 5/22/13
Last Wednesday I turned 9 months old!  It's been a crazy busy month, which is why I haven't posted since I turned 8 months in April!  I've been trying to figure out how to move, and I've been getting new teeth like crazy!  I got 4 in a row a few weeks ago, all on the top in front.  You can see them in some of my pictures this month.




Nine Month Stats
Weight: 21 lbs 12 oz (88th percentile)
Height: 28.5 in (85th percentile)
Head circumference: 19 in
Clothes size: Mostly 12 mos
Diaper size: 3
Eye color: Hazel
Teeth: 6!



Nine Month Habits
Eating:  I'm really good at table foods now!  I don't really eat purees anymore, except apple sauce and yogurt.  I usually eat whatever everyone else is eating unless it's too spicy or hard to chew.  I nurse with Mommy in the morning, take 2, 8-oz bottles of breastmilk every 4 hours or so during the day, and then take another bottle or nurse again before bed.
Favorite foods: pasta, any kind of bread or anything made with bread (pancakes, toast, etc), baked sweet potato fries, salmon, strawberries

Sleeping: I go to bed around 7-7:30 now, depending on how well I nap during the day, and sleep until 6-6:30 in the morning.  I take 2 naps around 9 or 9:30 and 1 or 2.  At home I still usually nap for 1-2 hours each, but at day care I sometimes only nap for 20-30 min lately.  I don't want to miss anything!

Play/skills:  I'm super busy and active lately!  I've been trying really hard to figure out how to crawl.  I can get on 2 hands and 1 knee from sitting up, but my other leg gets stuck.  I like to sit up more than I like to be on the floor now, and I end up scooting myself around on my bottom a little bit when I'm trying to get on my hands and knees and get my toys.  I also love to bounce!  I've started babbling more instead of just screaming (but I still like to do that, too!) and have started making some new sounds like "mmm" and "ppp."  
Favorite toys:  Any stuffed animals, Leap Frog music table, Baby Einstein radio, the TV remote, Mommy's cell phone
Favorite book: Peek a Who
