Time out. My baby has been out of my belly the same amount of time she was in. WHEN THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN?! Oh, today, that’s when. I can’t believe that though. My sweet baby girl is nine months old today. She’s the sweetest thing, very active and by far my favorite human being. Sorry Marcus 😉 She crawls, walks along the furniture and gets into everything…including the dog food and water. Whoops. #momfail But hey! We’re surviving, having a blast and taking each day at a time. She’s been doing amazing since her little incident a few weeks back and I hope it stays like that!
Weight: She’s around 17.5 pounds! Maybe a tiny bit over and lengthening out like crazy! She’s super tall and losing her baby chunk which is killing me!!! I love little chunky baby thighs!
Routine: I never thought I would say this, but we’re getting there!! Night times are still definitely our hardest, but she’s starting to get a routine down during the day. She wakes up every morning between 7-7:30, which I use to think was SUPER early, but I’m learning just to accomplish more in the morning now! Then she takes a nap around 9:30, usually that’s her better nap (most days barely an hour..ha!). Then another one around 2 and that one is rarely more than 30 minutes….then down for bed around 7:30! We’re getting the hang of it, but she definitely needs to learn to nap a little bit better and hopefully sleep through the night here soon!!
Sleeping: Like I mentioned above…big work in progress, but hopefully we’re getting close!! I’m a pushover and hate when she cries, so I’m trying to be better about not running in there instantly and giving her a couple of minutes to see if she will go back to sleep. #firsttimemom
Eating: She has started eating finger foods here and there and LOVES it! We have toast and bananas for breakfast a lot which is so fun to be able to share and eat breakfast together! And she currently LOVES peas, which this Mama loves! We love a good healthy eater around here!
Milestones: Oh man, she’s grown a TON the last month I feel like!! She tries to climb on everything and keeps getting lots of ouchies because she thinks she can do way more than she can! 🙁 Which is breaking this Mama heart, but I have to let her discover her surroundings and obviously can’t be behind her every second of the day and she’s QUICK! She walks along furniture, walks while she holds Mommy and Daddy’s hands and crawls around and chases the dogs… She gives kisses, says Dada when she wants to (of course not Mama..ha!), just learned today how to give high fives and claps when she is excited or did something accomplishing! I think she might think the word “YAY!” means clap though, ha! Because every time she claps we say YAY, so now when we say YAY, she claps! Haha! Whatever though, either way it’s adorable.
So much is happening and she is really curious and adorable about everything going on around her. We’re pretty obsessed with her and I love being her Mommy!
