9 months!

Evelyn, I can't believe you are 9 months old!  NINE months!  You are SUCH a delight and you continue to get sweeter and sweeter all the time.

9 month stats:

weight: 19 lbs. (51%)
height: 27.6 in. (50%)
head: 44 cm. (50%)

Despite your chunky thighs, it looks like you are very average in size!

Speaking of chunky thighs...



I want to eat them.  Every day.  SO munch-able.  

Eating: You are still drinking 4 bottles a day, 7-8 ounces each.  You love your milk.  You are the BEST baby food eater, and eat whatever I offer you!  I'm still making your food, and I tried to make the last batch slightly thicker than usual.  I can't even name your favorites, because you seem to love everything the same. You love Cheerios and puffs, but haven't tried a lot of other finger foods yet.  I have tried green beans and grapes, cut into tiny pieces, but with your well-working gag reflex you have shown me that you haven't quite gotten it figured out yet.  We'll keep trying!  Until then, I'm going to use up the rest of the baby food from the freezer!  




Sleeping:  You are a great sleeper!  You typically go from about 8:30pm-7 or 7:30am.  You still take two naps a day, morning nap is usually right at an hour, and your afternoon nap is typically an 1.5 hours.  You go down for naps and at night without a peep!  Good girl!




Milestones: During your 8th month, you started crawling!  I can't believe I have a mobile baby.  You started off slow, but have learned how to get around much quicker now.  You'll be out of the room in no time!  You are curious about stuff that you aren't allowed to get into, but you usually always stop and go the other direction when I give a semi-firm "Evelyn, no no."  Let's hope these listening skills stick around. :)  You are working on your 5th and 6th teeth right now.  You have the two upper, two bottom, and and working on the teeth on either side of your front teeth.  You are a pretty good teether... with the exception of a little bit of obvious irritability while eating and drinking.  About a week ago, your started "waving" and saying "bye bye"!  It sounds like "dah dah", but we know what you are saying.  It's PRECIOUS!


You've got quite the little sun tan already!  Look how white your creases are!  We spend a good amount of time at the pool.  She tans easily like her mama and daddy.








Evelyn, your first birthday countdown is officially on... I can't believe how fast you're growing up!

seriously. can't peel my eyes away from the thigh. i have a problem. that is too ridiculous for words.

and her in the booster seat with the orange on (probably from consignment but is old navy-- just a guess) she could NOT look more like Camden.
