9 months old

Well, I am a day late (or 2 weeks) and a dollar short but here we are at her 9 months post. 9 months! How did this happen? Last week I took her to her 9 month check up and at the end of the appointment we scheduled her 1 year appointment. I feel I was just bringing this baby home from the hospital and right now as I type this she crawled over to my chair and pulled up on my leg with a huge grin on her face. She is no longer an infant but a happy little giggle box that is on the go! We like to call her our little extrovert (I have no clue where she gets that from. ha! ).

She is crawling all over the place, pulling up on furniture and starting to cruise around just a little. Solid food have become much more of a favorite now. She is starting to eat a lot of table food and can pick up small pieces and put them in her mouth. Still breastfeeding 4-5 times a day and she has just started drinking from a sippy cup. She takes a morning and afternoon nap and sleeps at night from 7p-7a.

9 months stats:

Length-27.5 inches-50%

Weight-19lbs 2oz-55%

Head circumference-17.5 inches-70%

Her little personality has started to really come out this month. Even Will has been calling her the little giggle box because it does not take much to make her laugh (see video below). There is nothing that melts my heart more than to hear her and Will laughing at each other. She laughs and him and then he laughs because she is laughing and it keeps on going. On the flip side of that he is the typical big brother and likes to pick on her to see how she will react. She, being a girl, can be very dramatic! So funny to already see the differences between girls and boys. Yesterday, I had one of those moments of motherhood that I never wish to happen again. I was checking out at the AT&T store and turned around to find Will dragging Molly Jane all over the floor of the store by one foot. She was just hanging on for dear life and he thought it was so fun to entertain his sister this way. I am sure all the employees had lots to talk about after we left!

Her hair is long enough to wear bows now! Yes, we wear them everyday!


Meet the little giggle box! Sorry I forgot to turn the light on when I went in her room after nap time but here goes...
