9 Months

I cannot believe Naomi is already 9 months old! I'm sure I started her 6 month post off the same way. It seems that time is flying by and before I know it we are going to be celebrating her 1st birthday, then her 16th! Here are a few things she's been loving.

• She is finally crawling and pulling up on everything! Now that she is mobile, she is much more content to be left alone to play that she was before.
• She is talking tons. She says bye bye, mama, and sometimes papa.
• She has 4 teeth. 2 on the bottom and 2 on top. She has a big gap between her top teeth and when she smiles she looks like an old granny! I love it!
• Her hair is filling in and lightening up even though it is not quite a blonde as Levi's was at this age.
• She still love her pacifier.
• She eats Stage 2 foods. I've tried introducing her to some 2 1/2 foods, but she doesn't like textures just yet. However, she will eat crackers and nilla wafers.
• She nurses 3 times a day and eats solids 2 times a day.
• We were having trouble with her sleeping through the night, so just last week we moved her into her own room and have been letting her "cry it out." So far so good. She still wakes up most nights, but she is quickly learning to soothe herself back to sleep.
• She loves playing with Levi's toys and playing with him. Right now her favorite toy is whatever he is playing with.
• She loves to be outside.
• She takes 1 nap during the day and a few catnaps in the car when we run our morning errands (gym, grocery store, etc.)
• She loves jewelry and I usually can't wear any for her pulling at it constantly.
• She wears size 3 diapers.
• She is ticklish on her tummy, thighs, and neck.
• She sleeps on her tummy.
• She wears size 9-12 month clothes.
• She absolutely LOVES bath time!
