It seems as if lately she has been growing by BIG leaps and bounds. I mean... everyone knows babies grow super fast in their first year... but it just seems like to me that in the last month she has changed SO much. I suppose it's not fair (or right) for me to wish it all to slow down, but so badly I wish it would...! There aren't enough hours in the day it seems to soak up all the moments... memories...experiences...etc. I suppose that's why I have this blog. Well, that...and to keep the grandma's and grandpa's updated... :)In the last month Sophie has:
- learned and perfected the art of crawling. Seriously. She went from barely crawling (more like pivoting on her bottom) to making mad dashes from the kitchen to the bathroom in 15 seconds tops. The rate at which she crawls completely depends on whether or not Lucas is around. She LOVES being close by him. When he's playing, she's always curious about what he's doing and tries to join in. If he's not around she crawls around looking for ways to bang things together and make noise... her expertise. (Hey, I always know where she's at!)
- gone from soley baby food to enjoying a wide variety of table foods. Here's the progression so far... Cheerios, Gerber Puffs, avacado, black beans, pears, cooked carrots, and peas. She's enjoyed all of them... preferably at room temp. She's not very lady-like either...she takes large handfuls of Cheerios at one time and tries her hardest to stuff them all in her mouth.
- nodding, "Yes!" Oh, this is cute. At first when she started doing this, I was worried that maybe she was losing head control. Nope. She does it on demand. She'll nod her head up and down and giggle like crazy, probably because I do every time she does it.
- pushing out some top teeth.... lots of them according to Dr. Harper. While you can't see them very well, you can feel them coming through. I'm so proud of her... she's still doing great at night, sleeping about 11 hours straight, despite the little toothies.
- moved up to the teddy bears room at church (since she's crawling). She did great in there her first Sunday. I think she likes being with the "older" kiddos... just like it is at school. (She's the youngest in her room at TOTS.)
- wore her 1st bow in her hair (Easter Sunday). I kind of feel bad that it's taken me this long to get a bow in her hair. I'm not sure why I waited so long!!! She's got hair...I guess I just spaced it. Sorry Sophie. Please forgive me for neglecting all the cute accessories that belong in little girl's hair. I'll try to be better at it from now on...
Also, she's still in size 3 diapers...wearing 9 or 12 month clothes... and has yet to put on shoes. Is that bad???? I have no IDEA what shoe size she is. She's getting dedicated at church this Sunday (on Mother's Day!!) and I think her first shoes will make their debut then! Haha...
9 month check up: weight: 16 lbs. 10 oz. height: 26 1/2 in.
