9 Months...

9 months.  That's how long you were in my tummy.  That's how long you've been in this world.  It's such a weird feeling because now that you are here; I simply cannot imagine what life was like without you in it.



--still wearing a size 3 diaper
--still wearing 6-9 months clothes.
--you love to "talk" and squeal and hear your own voice
--bath time is a favorite.  in fact, you love everything about the water--the pool, the hose, etc.
--you love singing, just like your sister
--sister adores you!!!  the two of you have your own "language."  She talks to you in "words" that are really just jibberish, and it makes you laugh every time.
--you are so ticklish!  It makes me laugh!
--you are very mobile...almost crawling...you can move every direction except for forward (since 8 months).  You get pretty frustrated once you've backed yourself into a wall.  I think it's pretty adorable.
--you love your water cup--again just like your sister.
--FOOD--you're crazy about it!  If we are eating, you want to eat, too.  You can feed yourself great, too.
--you have 6 teeth (since 8 months)
--you're still nursing about 4 times a day.  here is a "sample schedule."
     *6:30-wake & nurse
     *7:15--solids
     *8:15--nap
      *10ish--nurse (sometimes--sometimes you only do the afternoon feeding at around 3:30 or 4)
      *11:15--lunch, solids
      *1:00--nurse & nap
      *3:30--nurse
       *5:15--dinner, solids
       *6:00ish--nurse & bed
--so, as you can tell, you do a lot of eating. :)

(I have to run now; coming back later to finish the list)
