We’ve got a firecracker on our hands. “Miss Thang” is into EVERYTHING…and pretty
much everything she shouldn’t be. I’ll
go ahead and say her favorite things to play with are the outlets & cords
& the other day I found her on top of the toilet. I wish her favorite things were the thousands
of baby toys I have been trying to get her to play with. Oh…I should add that she also loves any toy
her brother is playing with but that definitely doesn’t make him happy. She is growing so fast & makes us smile a
little bit bigger every day. As cliché as
it sounds she brings so much joy to us each day…even if it’s been a hard day.
Size:
We haven’t weighed you since your 9 month appointment so you are
probably around 20 pounds. You are
wearing mostly 12 month clothes & we are loving your chunky legs…they are
in full baby effect. You are in size 4
diapers. We took you to have your feet measured and you they put you in size 3.5 shoes.
Sleep:
It has been a good month for sleep and you are starting to get the hang of it. It is very rare that you wake up before 5am, anymore (unless it’s a cry for a few minutes). You have slept through the night several times until 7am. If you wake up to eat before 7am you will normally go back to sleep until about 8am. You are still taking two naps a day.
Activities:Your main activities are constantly moving & eating. You are crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything & anything, and started to cruise a bit. You will play with a toy for a minute and then you immediately move on. You love to play in the bottom of the refrigerator. I still put you in the jumper for a few minutes at a time when I need you contained in the house & after fussing you will enjoy it. You also love to clap…it has been your talent that you show off to everyone!
Food:
You eat EVERYTHING! Literally, I don’t think I’ve put a food in front of you that you won’t eat. You are eating pretty much all “solid” food just torn into little pieces. You eat turkey, chicken, beef, vegetables, fruit, and you love puffs. You freak out if we are eating ice cream and lunge towards our food all the time J. You are still EBF but you are starting to wean yourself and I think prefer solids foods over milk in general.
New Things:
Your eating has definitely taken off and you will eat everything! Often, you will share with your brother when we are out to eat & you eat more of his meal than he does!
You are a daredevil. You
want to climb & go over & under things.
You are impersonating and repeating sounds/words more and
more.
You drink water out of a sippy cup & are pretty good at it!
