Belated 9 month review

Go figure, I come to blog… and blogger is down for maintenance! So, at least I’m getting the blog written, and I’ll upload it later tonight.

I STILL haven’t done a month 9 review! And Aubrie is almost 2 weeks into her tenth month. Oops! Really, it doesn’t seem like that much has changed. But, looking back on her 8 month review, I guess it has! She’s really motoring around these days. She crawls really quickly, pulls up on everything and anything, can cruise a little, and walk while pushing things (mainly chairs… we don’t particularly like this little habit, as it generally ends with baby on the floor). She’s really, really cut down on how much she throws up, which is truly a blessing (especially for the carpets and laundry!).

She’s still eating much of the same foods. She’s started drinking a little juice too, though I don’t like to give it to her too often. We started mainly due to her first cold, which she is just getting over. She’s also eating cheese, cauliflower, Brewer’s Yeast and kelp in her cereal (that stuff is soooooo disgusting, and yet soooo nutritious, she doesn’t seem to really care about either though!). We need to start her on more finger foods, as she really loves them.

Sleeping is the same. Who would have thought 7 or 8 months ago that she would turn out to be such a fantastic sleeper?!?! I’m so thankful every morning for that!

Oh, and one more tooth. Not sure exactly when that little guy came in. I keep thinking she’ll get the top two as well, but no luck yet.

She still LOVES giving big, open mouth kisses (can’t seem to teach her to keep her mouth closed!). She especially loves chasing the dog with her mouth open and laughing hysterically when he licks inside her mouth – YUCK! Poor Java, we keep telling him no, and then she chases him down and taunts him to do it again. He’s trying so hard to behave!

She’s also a great peek-a-boo player these days. She’ll initiate it herself. Though, she doesn’t quite understand that simply bowing her head and looking up isn’t really peek-a-boo… we can still see her, though we pretend we can’t. She’ll keep doing ANYTHING over and over and over and over again if it gets a cheer. Should make potty training quite easy down the road!

I totally had to laugh at Java licking her while she's got her mouth open. Jax does that to Conner and it makes me cringe, just b/c EWWWWW. But it cracks Conner up.

And brewer's yeast? I'm intrigued as to why that's healthy...

Good to hear she's doing good tho. Ready for another? JK ;)

Isn't it interest how you think nothing much has changed and then when you do look back, so much has. Things just change so quickly

hahah...my beans is a year old (last friday, 10.27), has been giving kisses for a few months now and STILL gives kisses the same way - mouth open. sometimes she'll acutally purse her lips, but 7 out of 10 times, her mouth is still open.

she also has loved peek-a-boo for a few months now and whenever she has ANYTHING covering her eyes, she pulls it off and expects you to say "peek-a-boo!" too cute :)

isn't it great that the whole spit-up staging is fading with each passing day?

who knew babies could be so fun (and exhausting!!!).
