I'm 9 months old today!


Here are some stats of Jaelyn at 9 months:
  • Weighs 17 1bs 4 oz (25%)
  • Is 28.5 inches long (85%)
  • Dr. Dave said to start giving her table food...she can eat anything but peanuts & honey.
  • She's on the move....army crawling to get everywhere!
  • Has 3 teeth with the 2nd top one just about to break through.
  • Starting to wean her off of breastfeeding (because of those sharp teeth...all I have to say is ouch!)
  • Would rather have mommy or daddy walk with her the entire day instead of sitting by herself.
  • Eats anything I put in front of her...but would rather feed herself ("little miss independent" already!)
  • Enjoys being in the "big girl" car seat (no more infant car seat~I didn't realize how nice those infant car seats really were...especially at the grocery store b/c she enjoys reaching for everything!)
  • Mommy & Daddy's cell phones and the TV remote are still her toys of choice.
  • Can kick a soccer ball...or simply by just walking into it. We'd like to think she's doing it on purpose because she's a natural soccer player!
  • Is still wearing 6-9 month clothes (but the length of pants are going to be an issue soon)
  • Can still take 3 naps a day, but that is starting to disappear...
  • Sleeps about 11-12 hours each night
  • Isn't camera shy...
  • Must have her blanket to fall asleep (so I went and bought an identical blanket just in case we lose it...or it's in the wash & she needs a nap pronto!)
  • Waves "hi" to friends & family.
  • Enjoys making new noises with her mouth
  • Offers open mouth kisses "on cue"....when I get her up from a nap, or when you simply ask for one (well, most of the time!). It's so precious!!
