Well, here we are 9 months! In 3 short months, my sweet little girl will be the BIG one. I will laugh and cry. It’s so bittersweet to watch her grow. I love her little laughs, claps and patty-cakes. I love her bites and tugs and leg-riding. I seriously love everything about this girl. As hard as some days are, they are so so so worth every second. Thank you, God, for choosing me to be Laikyn’s mommy! It’s the biggest blessing of my life.
Age :: nine months
Length :: 28 inches
Weight :: 17 lbs 9 oz
Milestones :: LC has 8 teeth now. She’s got 4 top and 4 bottom. I’m not really sure with teeth will come next, but I don’t expect them to be far behind! She is still standing alone and walking with assistance. She’s not quite brave enough to take those first steps, but she’s getting SO close! She’s saying dada, baba, and hi…we are working on bye-bye and mama. Keeping up with her is a task in itself…she is into and onto everything you can imagine. Our house has been baby proofed and mommy is on watch-duty constantly!
Sleep :: Sleep is still amazing! She is sleeping anywhere from 11-13 hours at night and taking 1-2.5 hour naps in the day. She’s taking 2 naps; one morning and one afternoon. She’s going to bed at 8pm and waking around 7-8:30…sometimes 9ish! I’m LOVING that! I’m able to sleep through the night now, without having to pump. It’s such a blessing to have a good night’s rest!
Favorites :: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, eating, nursing, bath time, going for walks, swinging, being outside, playing in tunnels, going to gymnastics
Doesn’t like :: She’s getting better with the carseat since she LOVES Mickey. I’m looking to get her a convertible carseat sometime soon, just haven’t decided which one I want! I think that will give her some more space and let her sit up easier. As for things she doesn’t like…getting her diaper changed. She “ain’t got time for that!” 🙂
Foods :: She’s eating everything that we are! She loves food and is doing so good with not choking. She’s drinking water from a straw and loves her cups. She still doesn’t love the sippy cup and prefers a straw cup over those. She LOVES Dwedaddy’s homemade banana pudding and ice cream. She was in heaven, and he makes them especially for her. She’s not spoiled at all! 😉
Not too much to report this month. I expect her to be walking within a month or two. She’s just keeping me busy and on the go! Don’t worry, I count her as my daily workout!
