9 months

Weslie turned 9 months old on the 8th...and had her check up on Monday. Here are some highlights:

  • 26 inches long - between the 5th - 10th percentile (she's a tiny peanut!!!)
  • 17.6 lbs. - between the 25th - 50th percentile
  • she can totally sit up unassisted
  • she crawls like a madwoman
  • she pulls up on EVERYTHING
  • she cruises once up and standing
  • she can feed herself puffs, wagon wheels, toast, biscuits
  • she eats almost everything - and wants to try anything on our plates
  • she is still exclusively a breast milk baby - hopefully we can make it 3 more months!!!
  • she is trying to learn to drink from a sippy cup
  • she is getting more and more movement out of her right hand...and can and will transfer objects to that hand and hold them
  • she no longer needs her seat in the bathtub as she loves to sit up and play in the tub
  • she is a total ham when I pull out the camera...smiling big and looking my way so I can get her picture

Happy 9 month birthday, baby girl. We are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you so much!!!
