9 Months Old

04.07.2010

Little Megan is growing up way to fast, but we are enjoying every fast-paced minute we have with her. She's such a good baby and we are so blessed to have her - just as we are very blessed to have little Andrew too!

At 9 months, Megan...

• loves to eat now and enjoys all baby food. She's ready for stage 3 food but for now we're adding cereal to her stage 2 food to make it thicker - she's not quite ready for the size of a stage 3 jar.
• moves from a lying down position to a sitting position with little to no efforts.
• pulls up on anything that's not moving - and some things that do!
• has stood for a few seconds without support (just once).
• "walks" wish assistance.
• throws anything that's in her crib with her in the floor - she needs room to roll around, and man does she roll around!
• HATES to be confined.
• LOVES to crawl a million miles an hour in the floor.
• responds to her name.
• lights up when she sees Andrew - she thinks he's the funniest thing ever.
• loves puffs.
• is a nightmare to change because she moves around so much.
• is beginning to sleep between 8 and 9 hours without interruption (at night, of course).
• smiles all the time and has 2 really big teeth (okay, they're not that big - but they're growing in fast!).
• makes lots of noises with her mouth.
• bangs her toys around a lot.
• is great at sharing her toys (what choice does she have, really?).
• loves to drink water - I'm so proud of that!
• is a really good girl at church and doesn't mind all the attention she gets at all!
• is finally starting to grow more hair. Maybe by her birthday we'll be able to use a bow!
• travels well and will make her first trip to the zoo later this month, followed by a trip to Tennessee next month (and of course, our annual beach trip in September).Is the most precious little girl ever. She's such a good baby. She has a mild temper and the sweetest disposition.
• is loved by all!

(Yes, I know these pictures need to be cropped. I'll add it to my "to do" list.) :)
