ElleBelle,
You are growing, growing, growing! Not only are you growing physically, but your personality is beginning to take shape. You are still sweet and happy, but you are realizing that you have an opinion... and that you can share it!
-You are sleeping... woohoo! You sleep 11 hours straight most nights.
-Puffs are your new favorite food, however most of them end up everywhere but your mouth. That happens with most food... you are a MESSY eater! You love to put your fingers in your mouth as you are chewing.
-You love to make motorboat sounds with your mouth and you have a new deep growl you use when having a "conversation" or looking for attention.
-You can push up into a crawling position on your hands and knees, but your foot gets stuck behind your opposite leg when you try to move forward. You usually end up rocking back and forth and slowly scooting backward across the room.
-Teeth, teeth, and more teeth... Your upper right lateral incisor came in this month and hung out all alone until two weeks later when you got all three other upper teeth at the same time! Phew! AND we can see your two bottom lateral incisors ready to break through any day now!
-You get mad when we place you on your back to change your diaper and when we sit your in your highchair for a meal.
-Peekaboo is your new favorite game and you love to cover your own face with your hands or whatever you are holding. You smile so big and bright when you are playing.
-You are now down to taking only two naps a day, and one of them is during Reece's afternoon nap... another woohoo! When I come to get you you are usually sitting up and chatting. Once again, you are so happy!
We love you, sweet Elle!
Bath time with Reece is a new nightly activity. It's fun and so much more efficient!
You LOVE to stand!
Up in the crawling position ready to go!
You are becoming Daddy's playmate (when Reece is willing to share)!
Nana and Papa visited you this month. You had a blast... they did too!
Nine months old and HAPPY!
