9 Months

*Sniff*  My baby is 9 months.  She's pretty much the cutest 9-month-old in the whole entire world.  She's seriously the most easy going baby I've ever had.  She mostly just goes with the flow.  As long as she's not hungry or tired, she's so happy.  Love her! 

9-Month-Goings-On:
  • Is on a pretty good eating schedule:  Wakes up in the morning and nurses, naps, wakes up and eats oatmeal with bananas or a cereal bar, has a bottle for lunch, has another bottle after second naptime, eats a vegetable (usually sweet potatoes, squash, peas or green beans) around 4:00pm and drinks a little milk (bottle), then nurses again at bedtime.  I really wanted to breastfeed her exclusively until she was one, but I've had too many extremely painful breastfeeding issues this time around and those darn sharp little teeth have limited me to just morning and evenings.  Oh well.  She also LOVES to snack on Cheerios throughout the day.  She gets extremely excited when I pull them out.  :)
  • Sleeps from about 7pm until 7am.  Yay!!!
  • Is one crazy rugrat.  Now that she can crawl, she crawls EVERYWHERE.  And gets where she's going at top speed.  
  • She figured out the stairs.  (Dangit!)  She can go up, but she most certainly cannot go down yet.  
  • She loves to be around her siblings (well...with limited exposure to Ally who likes to tackle her).
  • She puts every single teeny tiny microscopic thing in her mouth.  Needless to say, she's the perfect motivator to keep my floors vacuumed, swept and mopped.
  • She loves to stick wash cloths in her mouth and chew on headbands and her socks.  ???
  • Has 8 teeth.  4 on top and 4 on bottom.
  • She learned how to clap.  Pretty much the cutest thing ever.  :)
  • When things get noisy around here, Evelyn is sure to let you know she's part of the crowd by raising her voice to match the volume of noise going on around her. 
  • Favorite things to say:  "Dadadadada"  and "Abababababa."
  • Loves to blow raspberries.
  • Totally lights up when she sees her Daddy, but she's still a major Momma's girl.
  • Likes to pull out the dirty silverware in the dishwasher while I'm loading it.
Happy 9 months Baby Girl!  I love you!
