As you can see she can climb pretty good and stands on her own!! Just a second ago I turned around and she had gotten up into a living room chair by herself for the first time and she did it by piling up the pillows and blankets, she's clever that little booger and fast! Up go the pillows! She's not walking, she can push/walk table toys, but is just getting comfortable standing by herself. I think she'll be closer to a year before she walks, I use to think she'd be walking by now, but they are good at tricking you like that! You think you have them/their schedule/likes/dislikes figured out and then they go and change!! Our house looks like a bomb went off and things are placed in the weirdest places or pushed all into the center of a table to keep little hands away, but those days are quickly coming to an end, we'll have to get smarter to stay ahead of her. She loves having access to cabinets and drawers, it's so fun to find stuff hidden away! Also, the books on the shelves are such good fun to pull down and chew on! She loves singing patty cake and clapping her hands. She's doing "so big" now and playing peek a boo by lifting her shirt, it's so cute and she's so proud of herself and we are proud of her too!
Stats:
Close to 18 pds, she's in the 1% range for height/weight ratio...she's on a fatten me up diet and it's definitely working, too bad, I don't need a diet like that :)
29 inches long, which puts her in the 80% range...I think?? It's up there...
Size 2-3 diapers
6-12 Months clothing
Food: Pretty much everything, she doesn't really get meat, because she doesn't have any teeth still and blending up meat, kind of freaks me out. She eats 3 meals a day with some puffs/goldfish/etc in between along with breast milk about every 3 hours to make sure she's eating enough during the day. She's a good eater and I can't wait for Thanksgiving, I know she's going to enjoy all the yummy food! She loves feeding herself, so this should be a super messy affair!!
Sleep: Big news on this front, she actually sleeps in HER bed the entire night!!! She goes down between 7-8 pm and gets up around 6ish. That's the good news, the bad news is that she still doesn't sleep through the night, but on good nights she only gets up once to eat around 3 or 4 am and goes back to sleep, but some nights she gets up every two hours, but she doesn't get feed at every waking, so I'm not sure what's going on those days. Any advice?? Ideas?? On the nap front, she normally takes 2-3 naps a day, they aren't the longest, but they are usually no shorter than 40 minutes, I'm working on getting her to stay down a little longer. She seems to do best on naps between an hour to an hour and half.
This really is a fun stage, she's super interactive and soooo sweet! She can blow kisses and wave and it makes me smile just thinking about her!!! We are enjoying every minute and love her soooo much and are soooo blessed to have such a gift!! Until the next time...enjoy the pictures!
