9 months

9 months...seems so significant since that's about the time it took to bring this little baby into the world (well, 40 weeks!!...that is NOT 9 months!) So, we had our 9 month doctor's appointment and everything still looks great!!
9 month stats:
weight: 17lbs 13oz (45th percentile)
height: 27 1/4th inches (50th percentile)

Ruby Belle is getting SO big. and SO much more fun and shows more and more personality every day! (right now she's playing by herself and i just looked up and she's chewing on a toy and spinning around in circles on her booty...something she just apparently learned how to do and thinks is fun b/c she's been doing it all morning!)

  • smiles more than anything
  • laughs/giggles at herself and when tickled
  • loves to play peek-a-boo and giggles like crazy
  • can wave..not exactly on command though
  • just started giving kisses back when you get close and act like you're going to give her a kiss. she just leans in and puts her mouth on yours. (sometimes!) SO CUTE!
  • puts everything in her mouth...caught her with a dead spider...YES, A DEAD SPIDER!! in her mouth a few days ago! SO gross!!!
  • speaking of putting things in her mouth...i think we're going to really have to start watching her...she's a bit mischeivious!
  • knows the word "NO" when you tell her, but it doesn't always stop her!!
  • crawling everywhere
  • pulling up on eveything...and when she does she often looks around to find you and then sort of waves and smiles
  • busy, busy, busy!
  • i think she may be a show off :)
  • can take a few steps if you guide her
  • still has only 2 teeth
  • still wearing 6-9 months...can wear some 12 month
  • still wearing #3 diapers and also cloth diapers
  • eating 5 times a day - eats about 30-32 oz of breast milk and a fruit, a veggie and some cereal each day
  • i'm pumping 4 times a day
  • she takes 2 naps usually a day...one around 9 or 10 and the other around 1pm. sometimes falls asleep on the way home from daycare , too
