Nine Months Old!!

Caroline Jean- 9 months old

I can't believe that our little girl is already 9 months old!  Where did the time go?!  She is a happy baby, only really getting fussy when she's tired or hungry.  She is truly a mama's girl and is extremely wary of strangers.  She also strongly prefers females to males (other than her brothers!).  This was a big month for her as she became a true "sitter" and it opened up a whole new world of observing the action around her.  She loves to be a part of things and is getting louder and louder as she explores what those vocal cords can do!  We love our sweet Caroline!

At 9 months, Caroline weighs 18lbs, 9oz (40%) and is 28" long (59%).  Her head is in the 80th percentile.  At 9 months, Henry weighed 21lbs, 0oz (50%) and Tommy weighed 24lbs, 4oz (95%).  Henry was 28" long (50%) and Tommy was 29 1/2" (75%).  Both boys' heads were 18" (75%). 

What is Caroline up to at 9 months?
- She goes to bed between 6pm and 6:30pm each night and sleeps until 6:30 or 7am.  No night wakings!
- Naps are from 9-11am and then again from 1:30-4pm.
- She is down to only one nursing a day (in the morning) and then also eats 24oz of formula and 3 meals of baby food.  Each meal is usually two containers of baby food or one bowl of cereal.
- She is eating most of the stage 2 foods now, but we haven't tried any table foods.  Favorites are apples, oatmeal, and orange veggies.  Hates avocados and blueberries! 
-She is in size 3 diapers and 9 month  or 6-12 month clothing. 
-She can sit unassisted now!  She also waves!
- No teeth yet!
- Lots of babbling and baby talk- she also is really into making funny noises with her mouth (clicking, kissing noises)
