What a big big month for our Allie girl! Officially 9 months old and nothing can stop her now.
Allison continues to to learn and grow every day. We are officially army crawling, and I doubt it will be long before she is crawling on all fours. I've seen her get up onto all fours and try to work out the movements from up there. She's also easily getting into and out of a sitting position to her belly.
She is loving eating food. It was a little bit of a struggle to get her to eat anything other than a straight puree, but we have been eating more textured food now and she is doing well. When she gets "real" food, she still doesn't do much with it, but she is exploring it and I know that's the important part. She likes "helping" me with the spoon, and will push it away when she is done. She is drinking from a straw cup, but mostly likes to suck up the water and then blow it back down the straw.
No new teeth this month, but she still loves to chew on anything and everything, so I'm sure she's working on a few more in there.
Favorites this month include the bead maze, the wipes container, crawling to where she wants to go, being outside, playing with her siblings (who she thinks , and any sort of music. She also really likes pooping right before bed. Usually after I've already changed her diaper for the night.
Dislikes would be not getting to where she wants to go fast enough, the snot sucker, or not being able to see or play with her siblings.
Allison very unenthusiastically met the Easter bunny this month, but it's better than tears I guess!
She is in 9 month clothes and size three diapers. She took 30 ounces a day in bottles this month, and is eating food one, sometimes two times a day. We plan to try to up that to two times a day this next month. She weighs about 18 pounds and is around 27 inches long.
Bath time has moved from her baby bath in the sink to sitting in her baby bath in the tub with Katie, which she absolutely loves to do. But I had to put her in the sink for a few baths because its my absolute favorite thing. And Allie didn't disappoint.
These next few months are sure to be the absolute best time with her- so here's to watching her grow!
