Dear Anya, Happy NINE Months!

Dear Anya,





Could it be that you are nine months already? You are growing into such a wonderful little girl! This month you have made HUGE progress with your gross motor skills. You are now...



-Pulling self to a sitting and standing position when holding onto something
-Stand at the couch and walker toys
-Go to kneeling position in pack-n-play and crib...not yet standing in there
-Army crawl super, duper fast!
-Crawling constantly to Charlie's dish, Charlie's toys, and Charlie himself...all.the.time!
-Wearing 12-18 month clothes
-Shoe size 2-3. They may be dainty but boy are they strong!I keep reading about flat feet on babies, yours are not they have arches. Quite stinky too!
-Largest snap setting for cloth diapers (that's only when I do two inserts)
-Wearing tiny pony tails sometimes with the bow that is velcro
-Becoming good friends with Ariana
-Sleeping through the night, up until you got a terrible cold a few days ago. Last night was very rough!
-Started weaning, you take formula at least twice a day now and are doing fine with it
-You eat everything we eat, besides nuts, honey, cow's milk things like that. You are doing very well with eating, pincer grasp, and drinking out of a cup by yourself. Yesterday you drank out of a straw cup for the first time and you choked a little but you loved that cup.

We are going to the doctor on Monday. I am excited to find out your growth! UPDATE: We went to your 9 month check up on Monday and you weigh 20 lbs and are 32inches long! 99% for length, 91% for head size, and 78% for weight! The doctor said you are doing great and hitting all of the developmental milestones.

This month your new favorite toy is "Violet" the dog that sings you bedtime songs at Ariana's house. She can also say your name! You also love, love, LOVE Auntie Katie's blackberry, so much that you called a client of hers. LOL!

Love,
Mommy
