A little late on this one, but our sweet Brynnlee Bear is 9 months!
Ughhhh, how does this happen so fast?? Luckily, she still seems so much more "baby" than J did at this age since she's just starting to show signs of becoming mobile. Forward movement is becoming more and more frequent and I have witnessed a hand move forward followed by the opposite knee and then she flattens out.
B has also really started to enjoy "walking" while holding are hands and just in the past week or so, she is able to get both feet up (not simultaneously) to take steps. For awhile, one leg would step and the other would drag a little.
Her big sissy is still her favorite. Ever.
She even enjoys being a canvas for J's stickers!
J is still totally smitten with baby sister as well, although, I think she is just now starting to realize that her toys are no longer just "her" toys!
Her first two teeth have made their way all the way in now and while they are sharp, they sure are cute!
These chompers are put to good use and just about anything we put on her tray is consumed as quick as she can get it in her mouth. B loves any and all food so far. Let's hope it stays this way!
Over the past week or so, it's become clear that we have officially moved on to just two naps. As a result, she's been doing a wonderful job giving us at least one hour+ nap while the other is only about 45 minutes.
Bedtime is still around 7 with a bath with sissy every other night.
She's up for the day between 6 and 7 with the occasional day of sleeping beyond 7.
She's in pretty much all 9 month clothes with a little dabble in 12 month and I think she's in a size 1 shoe, but I rarely put them on her, so I don't even know for sure.
At her 9 month appointment these are the stats we were given:
20.1 lbs (78.97%)
27.5 inches (43.71%) **Dr. thinks this measurement is a little short**
45 cm head circ. (78.66%)
I can hardly believe that 9 months has already flown by. A lot faster than the 9 months she spent in my belly, that's for sure!
While I cringe at the thought of having two mobile babies to chase after, I cannot wait to see her on the move and exploring as much as I can see that she wants to. She's so calm and collected, sensitive and loving.
We've got nothing but love for this child of ours. We have been so blessed with two amazingly sweet girls.
Let the birthday party planning begin!!! [sob]
Love you, Brynnlee Bear!
**ETA: A couple other fun, cute, exciting things that B is doing that I forgot to mention are clapping and waving!
