Lily Dawn 9 Months

How sweet is this face???? And she has the sweetest personality to go with it. Every time we are out and about someone will tell me how calm and relaxed she is. When we are shopping she is looking around at the people or watching the ground as we walk and sometimes grabbing at the clothes when we pass by. 

She now has 6 teeth. Yes, 6!! 4 on top and two on bottom. 

The better to bite you with, My Dear. 

She is nursing and eat a little bit of solid food including finger food.

Some of her favorites:

Yogurt w/fruit

Cheerios

Graham Crackers

Ripe Peaches. The whole thing. (I remove the skin.)

Do NOT think you are going to share with her.

She Loves playing with her brother, Ethan! She is getting tougher all the time.

I often find them playing in his room- Ethan singing and dancing while Lily keeps out of the way! 

She is "talking" up a storm! She is saying: mama, dada, baba and lots of other sounds. She and Ethan "talk" to each other. They especially enjoy blowing bubbles with their spit while in the car. 

Super sad but super sweet!

I think she needs some Leggings on!

As I said in my last post, she is crawling and standing, ever so close to walking.

At her 9 Month Check Up:

Wt- 19lbs/ 56%

Ht.- 26.5/ 18%

Head- 44.4cm/ 64%

She is wearing 18 month clothing but the pants are a bit too long. She is still in her onesize cloth diapers on the second setting and size 4 disposables. 

We LOVE our Lily Bean!! She is growing too fast.

9 month Checkup

Today we went to our 9 month Checkup. This is the best picture I could get of the little boy before we put him in the car this morning! It was cool enough for him to wear a windbreaker on the way there but not on the way home. Got to love that Texas air!

Ethan got 2 shots today: his last Rotavirus and his first Flu Shot. Babies getting their first time flu shot have to have 2. The second one will come in 28 days. He also had to get his blood taken from his toe for an iron test. I knew as soon as she put that band aid on his toe it would end up in his mouth and it did! He was a little low so she wants him eating iron rich foods. Broccoli here we come! We will also be starting some meat, cheese and branching out on our vegs and fruit.

He weighed in at 19lbs 7oz (40%). His head is 45cm (45%). His height is a little on the low side 26.5in which is only in the 5%. She said he is due for a growth spurt any time now!

She also said, if we are going to get him to sleep through the night, then now is the time. He still wakes every 2hours, sometime every hour. I have been going to him because he's so sweet and I hate to hear him cry. Maybe the lack of sleep is why I can't get over my cold!

Wish us luck on finishing up the sleep training.

9 Months Old!!!

Here's Ethan all dressed up for Church this week. He got to go to the nursery for the first time! I wasn't going to leave him back there because I've never left him with anyone but family. Ethan had other plans when he saw all the toys and other kids to play with! They even had the same Leap Frog learn and play that he has at home!

He love "typing" on his keyboard. I had to cut the cord off of it because he kept chewing on it.

His new favorite thing to do is put this toy on his leg and kick!!

Ethan is 9 Months old today! WOW! I can't believe it has already been that long. He has learned lots of new things this month:

Sit up from his belly.

Almost getting to hands and knees from a sitting position.

Is taking baths with out his bath seat. What fun for mom and dad! Babies sure are slippery.

I think he is getting another top tooth!!

He has had his first cold. We have gone to the duck pond for the first time.

Next month is going to be very exciting for us all. We will be going to the Gulf Coast and the coast off of Oregon!!
