9 months & 1 week
you have:
2 bottom teeth
i'm pretty sure your top teeth are coming in; they haven't cut through the gums, but you have the snottiest nose to prove it
you say:
mama
dada
bye
and probably many more that we're not picking up on
you can:
do all the things i wrote about in the last milestone update
however, your waving has improved quite a bit - it's actually pretty cute
it went from a full arm flail, and now has become you holding up your arm, while opening and closing your palm/fingers
you can also put both hands together while interlocking your fingers - i think its pretty impressive for your age
you are:
standing up
cruising the furniture
taking small baby steps
becoming more and more confident about your new found independence
walking with help
you *always* love:
momma & dada
your puppies
Madeline doll - I put her in different places around your room, and i think you have slowly caught on because the minute we get up in the morning and change your diaper your wiggling around looking for her - its a fun game :)
Some other things:
you have figured out how to go up and down stairs, and you are super confident about it!
we have tile stairs/floors in the entryway - so this new found confidence makes me super paranoid!! i like for you to do and learn things on your own, but i walked over to check on you the other day and you were standing on the very edge of the tile corner of the stairs, balancing next to a chair...nope! not happening...
you really like to watch the dogs eat, especially Dooley ( i think because she eats on the stairs); anyway, i have caught you numerous times with dog food in your mouth, just munching away.
however, when you put anything towards your mouth (paper, shoes, dust bunnies, etc.) and i say, "uhh ahh" you look at me an whine a little but don't continue putting said object into your mouth. so, you are kind of getting the concept that you are not to put foreign objects into your mouth. haha!
im pretty convinced breast milk is liquid gold. Dad and I have gotten sick (stomach bug & colds) and you have stayed pretty healthy - more on that in another post. #knockonwood
co-sleeping is addicting - i go back and forth about you sleeping with us; for the time being I'm all for it. but you are starting to helicopter around through out the night. you get a great sleep, i get feet in the face and arms flung at me - who knew someone so little could cause so much chaos while sleeping.
on your 9 month birthday Dad and i "celebrated" by getting chick-fil-a (so we didn't have to cook/clean). we sat as a family at the dinner table and watched your second-favorite show, Planet Earth. after dinner, while i was cleaning up (the paper plates) Dad freaks out and says that you just stood up off the bottom pedestal under the table and took steps towards Dooley. i was so upset that i didn't see you do it. i went to hold your hands to see if you would walk with me and as you were standing you let go of my hands and slowly squatted down all by yourself -- Dad and I freaked! We were in amazement!! then, as if you were saying, "watch, I'm a big girl" you slowly stood back up all by yourself and then squatted again!! it was the craziest thing i have ever seen and it brought tears to my eyes that you were beginning to be a big girl and you were no longer my baby. we didn't even get a video we were so in amazement!!
