Ansley is now 9 months old, and frankly I don't know where those 9 months went!! She is no longer my little baby, she is my big baby(with quite the personality)! We went to the doctor yesterday for her wellness visit and he said that she is growing and developing perfectly. Praise the Lord! She weighed in at 20 lbs (50-75%) and 27 inches long (50-75%) and head circumference was 17 inches (50-75%).
So here is what she has been up to the past few months:
- She is now an expert crawler! She can scoot her little booty very quickly across the house.
- She has discovered that she can actually chase after the cat(whom she loves and who is much faster).
- She giggles like crazy when you chase her around the house, tickle her, throw her in the air, or spin her around.
- She is a great sleeper! She still gets 10-12 hours at night, and takes 2-3 naps a day.
- She has a hearty appetite and her favorites are sweet potatoes and apples.
- She is now using a sippy cup. I think she gnaws more than she drinks.
- She has lots to say, including baba, dada, mama or any other sound that will come out. The dada and mama are not directed towards us however.
- She has 5 teeth. 2 on the bottom and 3 coming in on top.
- She is in a size 4 diaper and 12 month clothing.
- She is going through extreme separation anxiety and will follow me around the house crying unless I pick her up. (the dr. told me not to give in)
- She pulls up and moves across the room from furniture piece to furniture piece.
- She is testing her limits with the word "no".
- She grabs everything!! The good grabbing though, is that she can grasp her food such as Cheerios
- She is so happy and she lights up when her Daddy comes home!
- She brings such joy to this household and to our family!!!
