It may be April Fool's Day but there is no fooling anyone here. You are growing at an exponential rate. How can you be 9 months old?!
You are almost 1!
You are almost 1!
Weight: TBD later this month
Height: TBD later this month
Clothes: 6-9 months...9 months more so for length
Eat: You are such a good eater! You eat 7-8 ounces every 4 hours. You have about 2 ounces of baby food for breakfast and lunch and then 4 ounces for dinner. You have started eating puffs, but have yet to start self feeding. You'd much rather mommy or daddy give them to you. You are, however, much better about holding your bottle. You can definitely do it...if you want to. You've tried grown up foods such as macaroni and cheese and loved it!
Sleep: With the time change, you go to bed slightly later. You lay down between 7 and 7:30pm and sleep until about 5am. Occasionally you will sleep past 6, but those mornings are rare. You still take 2-3 naps a day. You generally take 2 cat naps in the morning and then a longer (1-2 hours) in the afternoon.
Play: You want to be on the go so bad! You have been trying to push yourself forward with your legs and arms. We've seen you make a little progress in the forward direction, but not much. It won't be too much longer I'm afraid. You continue to love music and anything that makes noise. We get you outside every chance we get. You love the sights and sounds...and the cats.
Your sister is still your best friend. She loves you so fiercely and you constantly look for her in the room. You light up when she comes around. She still has the ability to make you laugh like no one else.
Odds and Ends: You are up to 2 bottom teeth with a top one on the way. You have some no fail signs of teething that have presented with all three teeth. You begin by drooling excessively and your nose becomes runny. Soon after, you have several days of rather acidic stool. Once that goes away, you end up with a noticeable divot where the tooth will come in. Within a week or so, the tooth typically pops through.
Despite teething, you are still so happy. people continue to comment on your cheery, laid back disposition.
You celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day.
You celebrated your first Easter with our church's annual Easter Egg Hunt and Sunday service.
