Stats:
At 9 months, she is approximately 18-19 lbs, Height is ___ (gotta measure her tomorrow), size 4 diapers, 6-9 month clothes.
Sleeping:
Lana is taking 2 naps, usually about 60-90 mins but recently we have on occasion gotten 2 hour naps. She has good days and bad days with sleeping through the night.
Words:
She is still babbling and says ma, da, ba, mmm. She is starting to repeat more sounds that she hears like buh buh and hi.
Lana is an efficient cruiser and uses anything as a walker, a chair in the dining room, the step stool, her Leap Frog table, etc. She accidentally let go of the couch and took a step and fell flat on her face. She didn't like that too much. She's probably not too far away from walking which I'm NOT encouraging at this point.
Food:
She finally started taking to solid foods in the last 3 weeks. Her favorite is apples and pears with oatmeal. Whenever she sees me eating anything, she motions her mouth open and closes and pulls on me until I give her some. She's quite adventurous with food but once she decides she doesn't like something, she's quick to keep her mouth closed. She still prefers feeding herself to me spoon feeding her. She's not a prolific eater though and prefers nursing to solids.
Tricks:
Lana's latest trick is waving. I'm not totally sure she associates it properly but she gets a kick out of practicing her wave, sometimes waving at herself or the dogs, but mostly when we play peek-a-boo. She loves people and is a constant flirt.
I'm amazed at how independent Lana is at such an early age. It's almost sad. Although, when she is grumpy or tired, she still prefers mama which is so sweet. She's such a happy baby. She just lights up any room she enters. All the nursery workers always love her. And she hardly ever meets a stranger.
