Enna- 9 months

Enna,

You are actually 9 1/2 months as I write this, but better late than never I guess! You are turning into such a fun little sweetheart these days and learning new things daily. I am amazed at at how suddenly you are taking off in growth and development.

You finally crawled this month...just before turning 9 months. You don't crawl on your hands and knees, but wriggle your way around with your elbows. You sit for a long time without going anywhere and you haven't ventured very far so we haven't had to do much as far as child-proofing the stairs yet. 

You are becoming more of an adventurous eater, eating 3 meals a day and just starting to pick up food. You are still loving purees mostly-sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, zucchini are your favorites. You still don't like bananas, but I can sneak them into oatmeal in the morning. 

You have 7 teeth now and an 8th breaking through very soon. Teething has been pretty awful with you. You have been waking often at night and it has been rough, but we will get through eventually.

You still nurse about 4-5 times during the day and 1-2 times at night. I do not think we are close to weaning at this point and I have mostly enjoyed nursing. However, you are starting to bite me more often as you get more teeth and it's been a pain (quite literally).

You had your 9 month appointment one week late and you weigh 18 lbs. 2.5 oz., and are 28 1/2 in. long (47th for weight and 77th for height)

Love you sweet girl!

Mama
