At 9 months you,
Are about 18 lbs and still tall and thin. You're in 9-12 month clothes.
You can crawl and will pull yourself up on everything.
You are independent and love to explore, but you're starting to follow us around more.
Are starting to show a preference for mommy at times.
You are taking longer naps, but have started waking up once a night to nurse.
Say "da" so cute, while you look around with you eyebrows up. I think you think you're actually saying something!
Smile so quick and easy! You look at everyone you pass in the stores, and if they smile at you, you instantly smile back! It's so gratifying...especially when your sister is sitting there giving them the straight face...
You crawl over to me when I clap my hands and say "come here!"
Your crying face breaks my heart every time.
You go to "school" easily with no separation anxiety, and still take 4, 4-5 oz bottles, even though they want 3, 6 oz bottles. You get really tired when your there, but will only nap for about 30-45 minutes.
At home you inconsistently nap from 45 min-1 hr, 15 minutes...90% of the time it's 45 min, 2x per day now. I'm really trying to get you on 2 naps per day instead of 3...it's so hard with three short naps! Why can't I have a baby who takes long naps??
You nurse about 6x per day, but only 5 minutes at a time- your so distracted by everything (especially your sister)!
You eat baby food 3x per day and still have trouble keeping solids (puffs that melt in your mouth) in your mouth. You still are swallowing with a tongue thrust, and will accidentally push food out of your mouth.
We love you so much! You make us so happy!
