This sweet girl is already 9 months old! I can't believe how quickly the months go by. Aliyah Rose, what are you up to these days?- You are 25lbs 12oz and 30" long. Both are way over and above the 97th percentile! But you aren't as big as what your brother was at this same age.
- You are wearing size 18 month clothes and a few size 24 months. The one piece 18 month clothes are pretty much too short on you - the legs of the outfits always end up around your knees! You are still wearing 12 month sleepers and onesies but everything else in that size is packed away! You are in size 3 shoes and size 4 diapers.
- You have 6 teeth :)
- You still scoot everywhere on your bum. You are rolling over more (especially from back to front) and even showing more interest in learning how to crawl. Right now you put your face down on the floor and then scoot forward on your belly pushing with your legs - you still need to figure out the whole using your arms/hands things to help you crawl!
- You are showing more and more interest in being on your feet and walking around. You pull up beside more and more things (chairs, Samuel's train table, Hope's crib, Mommy or Daddy if we are sitting on the floor, etc) and even starting to cruise a little bit around furniture. You have just started to really love holding onto Mommy or Daddy's hands and walking around. Just the other night you pulled yourself up to a stand next to Samuel's chair in the bathroom (while he was brushing his teeth) and then you walked along with wall into the hallway all the way to the diaper pail!!
- You love feeding yourself Gerber puffs. If Mommy puts puffs and Cheerios on your tray you'll eat the puffs and leave the Cheerios. You are a champion baby food eater and are just starting a couple of table foods. So far you've tried peas, noodles (from casseroles), bananas (you love these!) and pancakes. You love to scoot around the kitchen floor on your bum and sample all different types of food that have made their way from the table to the floor thanks to your brother and sister!
- Mommy has had to dig a lot of things out of your mouth that are not for eating: pen tops, pieces from Samuel's matchbox cars (like a bobcat scoop), pieces of foam balls that you've bit off, and the list continues! We need to watch you every single second!
- You ride really well in the car (as long as you can't see Mommy - then you are mad because you want to be held!) but don't like being put into your carseat. Every time, without fail, you'll stiffen up and scream when we are trying to put you in.
- You like to put your feet up on everything. It is SO funny and it makes Mommy laugh. You put them up on the toy shelf, the TV stand, Daddy's leg (when he's sitting down), and pretty much anything that is in front of you that is low enough for you to get your feet up on.
- Samuel always has a fruit cup before going to bed at night. Daddy started giving you some of the juice. Now whenever you see the fruit cup you'll get a big grin on your face and make a beeline for it so that you can have the juice!
- When you are falling asleep you like to pull/play with your hair. Sometimes when I peek at you when you are sleeping you are holding onto your hair.
- You love being outside and when you see something that gets you really excited (trees blowing in the wind, birds, Samuel or Hope or Mommy) you start saying "oooooh, ooooh" and you put one of your arms straight up in the air. You've just started to wave a little bit when Samuel or someone else waves at you.
Mommy loves you so much, beautiful girl! Happy 9 months to my precious daughter!!
