9 months

Tinsley, you are 9 months old!  ¾ of the way to a year!!!!!!  It is crazy how quickly time is flying by.  You are so much fun and have a great personality.  You love people and don’t want to miss a thing.

At 9 months, you are:

      -         Wearing 12 month clothing.

-         Wearing size 4 diapers

-         You weighed 20.5 lbs when we took you to the doctor a week and a half ago and you were 28 ¾ inches long.

-         You are still not really too into food, but are doing great on breastmilk. 

-         You laugh out loud constantly!  You crack us up which then gets you laughing even harder.

-         You jabber constantly.  “Da, da, da” is a favorite.  On occasion, I hear “ma, ma, ma” which makes me so happy even though I know you are not really associating these sounds with us yet.

-         You still really like your walker.  You are FAST!!!!

-         You LOVE being outside.

-         Changing your diaper and dressing you these days is a bit like wrestling an alligator.  You flip and turn and move constantly. J

-         You crawl super fast EVERYWHERE.

-         You are pulling up onto everything. 

-         You still go to bed around 8 or 8:30 and normally wake up at least once, sometimes two or three times.  You normally wake for the day around 5 or 5:30. 

-         You normally take a morning nap and afternoon nap.  Your morning nap is normally between 8 and 9 since you wake up so early and your afternoon nap time varies. 

-         You still love your swing.  It is still a saving grace on nights when you won’t sleep.  You sleep in your swing pretty much at all nap times.  Not sure what we are going to do when you outgrow it (which will be soon).

-         You still have 2 teeth, but you are working hard chewing on everything attempting to get more.

Tinsley, you are a blast!  We love you so much.  J

You had ZERO desire to sit still for your picture today!

You are way too busy to sit still!!!
