9 months

Age: 9 months Height: 26inches, 5th percentile Weight:17 pounds, 30th percentile Head: 44.25cm, 60th percentiile Milestones: Avy crawls and pulls to standing on everything. She is able to side step from one thing to another. She just started standing up and pushing her toys while walking. She is able to crawl all the way up our stairs (with supervision of course!) She will bring her hands together, but hasn’t clapped yet. She still loves to stand up in her crib in the morning and wake mommy and daddy up by pounding on the crib with her hand or jabbering. Avy has started to show some interest in books and will watch as I turn the pages. She also likes to turn the pages herself. She loves the books with different textures on the pages and will feel the pages as I turn them. Sleep: Avy is sleeping through the night. She goes to bed around 8pm every night. She will then wake up anywhere from 5:30-7am for a bottle. She usually doesn’t go back to sleep when she wakes up at 6:30. She will stay awake for a couple of hours and then take a 1 ½ hour to 2 hour nap. She will take another nap in the afternoon, but it fluctuates and is usually only 1 hour. Best Moment: Avy started pushing her walking toys while walking. I wasn’t paying attention and realized that she walked from one side of the room to the other. I ran and got Greg and said Avy is walking with her toys! Also, Avy is off her meds! Yay!!! The reflux is much better and she rarely spits up. Worst Moment: It’s a good thing, when I can’t recall a bad moment! Health: So far, no issues. Eating: Avy loves finger foods. She has started to not like baby foods or being spoon feed. She loves toast, real green beans, pasta, cut up pears, cut up mango, avocado, real peas, cut up banana, small pieces of chicken rice crackers, puffs, and carrot apple juice. She will still let us give her baby food every so often. The doctor recommends no eggs or cow milk until she is one year, but said we could give her yogurt, cheese and pancakes when I asked. Teeth: Yep, she has her two bottom teeth. Extra comments: Avy is becoming so fun watching her learn new things and explore her curiosity. She loves playing and exploring things other then her toys!
