My baby girl is 9 months old. *sigh* Where has time gone? She is as sweet and as pretty as they come, and is always smiling. I would say that her most distinct characteristic so far is how much she loves to be around people. She'll wave and smile and babble to anyone willing to give her a few seconds of their attention.
What has taken place this past month? Oh goodness, where to begin...
* She crawls, and crawls fast! I love to move from room to room around the house and have her follow me. So much easier on me.
* For most of the past month, she was still waking once a night to nurse. A few nights ago, days shy of her 9 month birthday, we decided to cut out that last feeding. This went much smoother than the fist time we did it a few months ago (when we went from two feedings a night to one feeding a night). The first night she cried for about an hour from 5:30 - 6:30 am, then fell back asleep till 7:30 am. Second night she cried herself to sleep, heard a few peeps here and there throughout the night, but didn't see her again till 7 am the next morning. Third night - nothing. Score! Twelve hours of uninterrupted sleep. My body still does not know what to do with itself. Though I slept 9 uninterrupted hours last night, I still woke up more tired than normally. Odd!
* She can pull herself up. She still wobbles a bit when she does it, but pulling up she is.
* She seems to be more responsive of her name. I believe she is finally recognizing it.
* She can go up the steps. ACK!
* Her favorite things to babble are: ma ma ma, ba ba ba, and da da da.
