Here we go!
Teeth: 5 pearly whites we can see and another about to break through any moment!! 2 on bottom 3 on top!
Weight: at our 9 month check up she came in at a whopping 17lbs 5 ounces!! My has she grown! I think it all leg weight, boy does she have some thick thighs, but they came in handy for her shot! Not one tear was shed :-)
Height: 27.5 inches!
Food: eating puree solids, and we just started doing puffs. She also is trying to learn how to drink out of a sippy cup, and boy is that hard. She prefers just to chew on it!
Movement: officially crawling and pulling up!! She loves to crawl and is good at sitting up from any position! She has yet to stand from pulling up but you can see she really wants to and is trying so hard to figure it out! We still do swim class and I believe very strongly that it has been a big help in her physical development. She can stay under water for about 6 seconds and kicks real well!
Speech : Says both "mama" and "dada" and I think she is realizing who is who! She loves to screech and make baby noises :)
We are going through separation anxiety. She is not happy when I leave a room or if she can hear my voice and not see me. :( It is hard because my first instincts is to go to her and sooth her but our pediatrician says that will only reinforce the behavior so mama has to toughen up!
Another thing is with all these teeth she has, it has meant a lot of hard days for all of us. Lots of crying, fussiness, and pain for my little penguin. :(
On a happier note, watching her blossom to this little tiny human is a true blessing. She amazes me with her innocence and open heart. How fast her smiles come now, especially when her father or I walk into the room. Or the little things, like me throwing bread at turtles, that make her laugh out loud! She is the most amazing little penguin and we adore her!
