9 months!

Our beautiful Quinny, you are NINE months old now and are the sweetest little girl! This month:

You are wearing size 3 diaper still and mostly size 9 month clothes. You can fit into a few 12 month things.

You will wear a bow for about 3 minutes before it comes off and goes in your mouth...if we're lucky. One day you'll love bows! :)

We'll find out how much you weigh Tuesday at your appointment! I know you have gained so much weight lately!

You still have two teeth. I don't think more will be coming any time soon. The drool has all but stopped.

You are sleeping a teeny tiny bit better now. :) You go to sleep between 6:30-7 every night (thank you daylight savings....) and usually get up twice if not three times. You take a morning nap and a really good afternoon nap thankfully!

You are nursing still, but usually only once a day. Mommy couldn't keep up with how much you wanted to eat anymore! :(

You officially started formula to help get you more of what you needed in terms of ounces. You take at least 5 bottles a day usually at 6 ounces each.

You eat a fruit mixed with oatmeal for breakfast, a fruit and veggie for lunch, a veggie for afternoon snack, and a fruit and veggie for dinner. This is all on top of the milk! Your appetite has increased by about 1000% this month. :)

You are doing much better in terms of what you will eat. You'll actually eat most veggies now if they're mixed. You still won't do anything green unless it has something extra added to it.

You get really vocal if we're not feeding you fast enough. :)

You will eat some of the puff snacks and love mum mums. You've only had the banana flavor of those. We're going to try cheerios soon.

You beg like a dog if Mommy gets biscuits and gravy for breakfast on the weekends. We swear you can smell it as soon as we walk in with it and BAM! You're at Mommy's side looking up with your mouth open!

Sippy cups are just toys in your mind and usually end up chunked across the room! It's a favorite game of yours.

You army crawl everywhere!!!

You like to scoot over the dog food and water bowls. Basically, anything we don't want you to have you want. :)

The jenny jump-up and pack and play have become Mommy and Daddy's favorite baby "toys" while we get ready for the day.

You have quit reaching for people when they try to get you to come to them unless it's Mommy, Daddy, or Nanny.

You wake up in the BEST moods with the BIGGEST smiles. It melts our hearts!

You have severe separation anxiety when it comes to Mommy. If I'm not near you there are loud screams and big tears!

If someone tries to hold you it usually ends up with lots of tears.

You love to scream when you are playing with your toys. It's adorable!!

You still only say "papa"

Your Dad will try to get you to say Dada and it usually ends with you whispering Papa instead.

You will wave, but instead of waving to others you always turn your hand to wave at yourself.

You will clap when you get really excited.

You love to drum on things!

You are so ticklish and will laugh SO hard!!

You LOVE bath time and have so much fun playing with your toys and splashing water everywhere.

You love watching the dogs and will laugh so hard if they acknowledge you.

You would much rather play with boxes than your baby toys.

You would also rather be playing outside than inside even if it's cold.

Sweet Quinn, you melt our hearts on a daily basis. We love your sweet, innocent little laugh and big beautiful smile. Every day keeps getting better. We can't wait to experience the next month with you and celebrate the Holidays. You are bringing the joy back into the season, and we know it will be priceless! We love to the moon and back precious girl!
