9 MONTHS!!!

This squish of a girl is already 9 months and we are all eating up every single rolling inch of her.  She is really happy most of the time.  Her personality is a lot like Meg as a baby, quite and content most of the time.  She is a great sleeper but requires the humidifier on and her gank, which is a blanket that Grandma P made for Meg.  It has made it through both girls before her and they didn't love it but for some reason it's her fav.  She loves the lace on it and is slowly unraveling it. She is usually ready for bed by 8 at the latest and up about 7:30.  She is babbling quite a bit and saying mamamam and ada but I'm sure they are not on purpose. 

She is eating some baby food, liking veggies more than fruits. Cheerios, puffs, and anything soft we are trying on her.  She also loves to naw on carrots and you know she loves ice cream already! She had a little bit of spaghetti last night and liked it OK   She is having 4 bottles a day still of 7-8 oz and I am counting the days till we can get rid of formula.  She is holing her own bottle, from the bottom with one hand, which is so nice she can do this.    

She is not crawling yet but very close.  I am not pushing either.   I really am not ready for her to crawl!  She is our last and I want her to stay little and immobile as long as possible.  She is still sucking her thumb which is killing me but I am hoping that she will switch over to the bink full time soon since she really likes that too.  She loves to get something stringy in her hands like the rug fringe HAHA, hair, grass etc  and wrap it around her pinky and plop that thumb in.  AHHHH!  It's super funny and cute to see her snug with the rug but really???  

She loves going outside and still loves her johnny jumper probably more than anything.  She is getting a bit of an attitude which is funny.  She is learning how to smack your hand out of the way if she doesn't like what you are doing and is also getting  tough to change her diaper or clothes. She is throwing herself back in a fit just a little bit and arching her back when she'd mad.  We will see what happens from here    Both the girls are still amazing helpers and Meg has even started babysitting here and there!  Woo Hoo!!  I am not sure how we lucked out with Sloany being such a good baby but we will take it!!
