9 Months

Yikes! I have had no time for blogging lately! Before I forget (and before I post for 10 months) I better get this one done. I know someday I'll be glad I did...

Rose has a continually evolving personality. She can be a real drama queen and she is the busiest baby I've ever seen! Very independent and she seems to love learning new things. She's learning that she does not like it when we take something from her grip. Seriously, 9 months is waaaay too young for tantrums to start!! The nice thing is it takes a couple seconds and a distraction to change her mindset. I think this one will give us a run for our money when she's older.

She's also the most smiley baby I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, she has fussy moments and the occasional days where whining is all we hear, but for the most part she is a happy girl and will even give us what we call her "courtesy smile" when she's exhausted but wants to appease us, ha!

I miss the little baby stages  but it is fun seeing her grow and develop into a little girl. Almost time to get her first birthday party planned. How is that possible!!? Love this girl so darn much.


9 Months
Weight: 19 lb 8.5 oz (68%)
Length/height: 28.5" (78%)
Head Circumference: 47.3 cm (100%)
Diaper Size: Size 3
Clothing Size: Depends on the brand! She still fits in some 9 month pants, otherwise she's generally in 12 month clothes and some 18 months
Milestones: A regular sippy-cup drinker, she's now crawling everywhere (and she's fast!!). She does still stand often but not taking steps on her own yet. She can wave "bye-bye" and is a big flirt with other kids/people at restaurants, the mall, etc.  She doesn't seem to like solid pieces of food (ie: cheerios, puffs, etc) but we're trying them. The pediatrician assured us this is quite normal and every baby is different. Soon we will be on to bigger & better foods! She likes to say "dadadadada" often and occasionally lets out a scream just to hear her own voice. I swear one day I heard her repeat "bottle" as I was preparing one with her in my arms. Probably not, but maybe! 

And now, for the photo bomb and the elephant pic...
