Brynlee, you are officially 3/4 of the way to your 1st birthday! How in the world did that happen so fast?! Here's what you're up to over the last month:
-You sleep from about 8pm-6am when we have to get up for the sitter's. But, the last few weekends you have blessed us with sleeping in until 8:00 or later. You are a girl after your mother's own heart :)
-You now wear a size 2-3 or size 3 diaper, depending on what's on sale at the store. I'm sad to see the Pampers Swaddlers go because it makes me feel like you're not a baby anymore. You've worn those since we brought you home from the hospital and it's like a little piece of your babyhood is disappearing :(
-Guessing you weigh around 18-19 pounds. Your 9 month checkup doesn't take place until you're almost 10 months old, so we'll find out for sure in a couple of weeks.
-You wear 6-9 month or 6-12 month clothes. For pajamas, you wear 9-12 month size.
- You have the biggest feet EVER! You are now wearing size 12-18 month
Pedipeds and
Robeez and a size 5 in other shoes. Your feet are as big as your 18-20 month old friends'! Luckily, you have an aunt and grandma that spoil you rotten so you have 3 new pairs of shoes that fit to add to your wardrobe. Included in these new shoes are a pair of cheetah print kicks....love them!
-You eat 3 (food) meals a day. YoBaby yogurt and a fruit in the morning, with a meat and veggie in the afternoon and a meat and veggie in the evening. You still eat just about anything, but are sticking to your guns when it comes to your hatred of peas. You also like to eat Gerber Puffs and Gerber Yogurt Melts for a snack in the afternoon.
-I don't believe any new hairs have appeared on your head in the last month. One of these days I will be able to take you out in public without a bow and have people not think you're a boy, but it may still be a while.
-You have 4 teeth! It appears as though your two top middle teeth may be making an appearance soon too, bringing the total to 6!
-You can crawl with the best of them, but aren't quite walking yet. You literally run along our furniture and will stand by yourself for a few seconds at a time, but haven't gotten brave enough to let go and take steps. I could be wrong, but I'm almost certain by your 10 month update that you will be on the move via your two feet and not your hands and knees anymore!
-You get into absolutely everything. Your favorite spot is in the corner by the TV where you can try and play with all the cords that are back there. Daddy does NOT appreciate this and you usually get a timeout on his lap if he finds you back there :)
-Things you love: your book on animals that makes the corresponding animal sounds, playing with Turner, trying to reach through the baby gate to play with Turner's food bowl, still chewing on every cord and tag that you can find, cuddling with your blanket in the car, and bouncing up and down at all times. You bob your little head while you bounce and then just laugh at yourself. We think you're pretty hilarious!
HAPPY 9 MONTHS, BRYNLEE!!
