Happy 9 months Mila!
9 Month Stats
Weight: 19lbs, 4oz
Length: 27in
Eating: you are a healthy eater! there's not much you don't like; you have more of an issue with texture than taste I think. I am still making all your food and it's getting a little easier because you can now eat regular food cut into small pieces (cantaloupe, ravioli, etc.). You LOVE feeding yourself and blowing raspberries wile you're eating.
Bedtime: your bedtime is now between 730 and 8pm and you are still going down pretty easily for both of us. I think all the crawling during the day wears you out.

Awake: you are all over the place! You crawl around the house looking for all kinds of things to get into. You're also pulling yourself up on anything and everything and have recently found the front door. You and Roscoe spend a lot of time there, just looking out into the world.
Naps: As usual, you're an awesome napper for dad and pretty much everyone else. But for Mom? Not so much.
Diapers: we just opened up the size 3s this morning!
Clothes: it's such a fun time for clothes! I just got out all of your 9mo clothes and packed up everything else. There's lots of rompers, perfect for sunshine, and all kinds of cute dresses and neon colors. Bring on summer!
Favorites: your toys keep your attention in the morning, when they are still "new," but you would rather crawl around than sit still. Roscoe's toys are your most favorite things right now and you love nearly getting them in your mouth (especially his elk bone!) before we gasp and take them away.

Development: I swear you are changing every day! Since last month you have started pulling up, standing while holding on (and a couple times letting go completely!), started clapping, waving and dancing (which sometimes is just shaking your head "no"), and "talking" constantly. You now have three teeth: two on the bottom and one on the top.
My little Mila,
My little Mila,
You are doing all kinds of new things every day and you're so much fun to interact with. You're making kissing noises (smacking your lips) and even go in for an open mouth kiss when I make the noises back at you. It's definitely messy but I wouldn't change it for the world.
You now make this little "huh huh huh" noise and all I can figure out is that it means your excited! You do it whenever you see something that makes you squeal and also when I get out your bathing suit for swim lessons. It's amazing that you know the swimsuit = swim lessons; you're such a smarty pants.
You caught your first cold this month and had the sniffles and a tiny little cough (that I sometimes suspected was fake!). I was hoping that you would make it to a year old without getting sick but making it 8.5 months isn't too shabby! Looks like you inherited your mom's immune system! Woohoo!
It's now evident that you LOVE music and you even start dancing whenever any tunes come on. I've only got it on video twice and neither one of them are very good (note: yes I will be trying out for American Idol next year and good luck ignoring Roscoe in the second video).
You're clapping and waving now and you're such a happy baby. You're so curious and aware of everything around you. Daddy has even taught you how to hug and you wrap your arms around him every morning when you wake up.
You no longer like laying back and lounging in the stroller, you sit straight up, near the tray, and want to see everything that's going on.
Sometimes it's a little too much though :)
We went to the zoo up in Big Bear (calling it a zoo is a stretch...it's really more of an animal sanctuary where I'm pretty sure they send all the animals to die) with Nana and Papa.
You were baptized this month and we also celebrated Father's Day with all your men; you saw Papa in the morning and then spent the day with daddy, Grandpa and Great Grandpops.
You and Roscoe are still best friends and I think you're both having more fun with each other. Roscoe is really good at pretending that he doesn't mind that you're taking over his toys (I finally gave in and just washed them all so you can put them in your mouth) AND his bed. And we constantly find your bedroom door open in the evening as he has wandered in there to check on you.
I know I say it every month but this is my favorite age so far! We love you, snug bug!
Love,
Mommy
