9 Months Old

Annabelle turned 9 months old on Sunday! We had her Dr's appointment yesterday and found out she is 27 inches (25th percentile) and 15 pounds 5 ounces (back on the chart at the 3rd percentile). We're so happy she's healthy and growing.

Eating - Annabelle eats four bottles a day, about 5-7 ounces each and two bottles at night (much tot he chagrin of her mommy and daddy). She usually eats about 1/2 a container of baby food twice a day as well. Her pediatrician encouraged us to up the solids and not worry if her formula intake decreases a bit. So, we started eating breakfast this morning. Mangoes and a little baby oatmeal.

Talking - Annabelle "says" lots of things...we just don't know what she's saying. Some of the sounds she makes are blah, dah, mah, bah, lah, th, nah, eh...along with grunts, squeals and other indescribable remarks.

Playing - Annabelle is constantly finding new things to explore. The other day I caught her pulling the heater vent out of the floor! She is one STRONG little girl. She also likes to take things out of boxes, bags, baskets, etc. Although she has recently started putting things back in as well. Some of her favorite things to play with right now are blocks and links. She also loves books and will listen quietly to a story before naptime or bedtime (as long as she's not too too tired).

Moving - Annabelle loves to move! She is an expert crawler and cruiser. People keep commenting that they think she sill be standing and walking. She will stand holding on with one hand and will walk while holding on to our fingers. She can also walk behind her push toy, but doesn't really seem to like it very much. So, we're hoping that means we have at least a few more months!

"What's over here?"


"Is there anything behind the chair?"


"Okay, mom, I'll sit pretty for the picture"
