| 9 MONTHS OLD |
Our sweet baby girl is 9 months old.
In just a few short months she'll be celebrating that big 1st birthday. Crazy talk.
The first year really is the fastest. It's amazing how much they grow, change and develop in just 12 months. AMAZING STUFF!
Miss Eden had her 9 month appointment today.
Weight: 14lb 9oz (6.6kg) - 1.7 % (not officially even on the charts)
Height: 26.5 inches - 17%
Head: 17 inches - 27%
She's as petite as can be, but healthy.
Since 6 months, she has reached a few new milestones.
She cut her first tooth right at 6 months, but then didn't get any more teeth until 8.5 months, where she suddenly cut 3 in just over a week. She is currently working on tooth #5
She has 3 on the bottom, 1 on top and a second on top almost there.
She learned to sit unsupported at 7 months.
She started saying "mama" around 8 months. I was so excited for this. Luke didn't speak until well into toddler years so we missed out on that, and Kate's first word was "Dada", so it was a big deal to me that Eden said Mama first and she actually means it for what it is... she calls to me when she wants me :D Sweet girl melts my heart.
She's trying desperately to crawl, but just not quite there yet.
She goes from a sitting position, down onto 2 hands and ONE knee, but that second leg just stays 'sitting', and as soon as she manages to pull it forward too, she goes into a belly flop and just lands on her tummy. lol. Silly girl doesn't seem to have figured out how to get up on those knees yet. Hopefully she'll get it right soon, because she's getting frustrated by her inability to move.
She is still a super sweet baby. When she isn't sick or cutting teeth, she still goes to bed easily and without fussing, as long as she's tired and ready for bed.
The other day I put her down for a nap, and as I tucked her in with her blanket, she wriggled into a comfortable position and let out a giggle of delight. It was the cutest thing. I hope she continues to love her bed and her sleep... Luke is the same way.
She still wakes up during the night, but given her small size, I guess that's to be expected.
She is a pretty big mommy's girl. She will usually choose me over anyone else. (Also a new experience. Luke didn't care which parent he was with as a baby, and Kate has always been a daddy's girl), unfortunately she is also BIG into the separation anxiety stage, so she cries and screams anytime I need to leave her with someone. A friend/babysitter etc. It does make going places without her a bit challenging, but sometimes when I have appointments with older kids, date night with Jake etc, it can't be avoided.
We do love our little Eden. She is the perfect fit to our family and such a little gem.
I'm trying to remember these baby months as well as I can, because they're almost over. Soon she'll be a toddler.
