Summer - 9 months


Just a little late with this...Summer is nine months old already!  She turned nine months on 5/16 last week.  I can't believe our baby girl will be one year later this summer. She is an absolute joy. 

Weight:  17 lbs 4 oz  (25-50%)
Height:  27.75 inches  (50-75%)

Some notes about Summer at 9 months old:
  • Has learned several new tricks this month - clapping, the "lip flap" (which she can do herself with her hands AND feet)
  • Screams with glee for "da-da" when he comes home from work, total daddy's girl
  • Pushing up to her hands and knees, but no luck moving forward yet.  She's really trying to figure it out though.  She gets where she wants to go by rolling around or scooting on her bootie.
  • Will entertain herself with a box of toys for a good 20 minutes
  • LOVES puffs and we are just starting some other finger foods
  • Has transitioned to formula and takes 20-24 oz/day
  • No more night feeding
  • Has figured out how to put herself to sleep but still wakes up once/night.  :(  I have no idea why my babies take so long to master sleeping through the night.
  • Still rides around in the Baby Bjorn.  I can't believe she is small enough to fit in there still.  Marshall outgrew it at 6 months!  He was such a bruiser and she seems so petite.
  • LOVES the water...the bathtub, the pool, and the fountains by our house.  She can't get enough.
  • LOVES animals, especially doggies.
  • Is already a little mommy, she is attached to her pink baby doll.
  • Can make a motor noise...you know she had to figure that one out quickly with all the cars and trucks in our house.
  • She is just the sweetest baby.  We are so in love.
