9 months

Last Thursday Carmen turned 9 months old.   We had her 9 month dr. appt and then Andy and I headed to California for the weekend.  More posts to come in the next few days......

What is new with Carmen?


Carmen...

... weighs 21 lbs 6 oz.  90% for weight and she's in the 50% for length.
... wears size 3 diapers. She is wearing all 12 month clothes

... loves to eat. She is completely eating table food. No more baby food.  She started to spit it back in our face and we took it as a sign.  She's doing pretty well eating only table food.

... has 4 teeth. Her front right one cut through her gums last week and so did the one next to that.  We are pretty sure her other front one and the one to the left of that are very close behind.

... is LOVING swimming lessons. She starts a new session this week.

...loves her baths. Although she tries to stand (which I obviously don't let her).
... is crawling EVERYWHERE!

... is now walking along everything.   She's stood all on her own for a few seconds and taken a few quick steps to Andy and I before falling into our arms.  Walking isn't far away.

... still loves to climb the stairs
... is "talking" more and more everyday.  Says Mama and some Dada.....

... definitely knows Mommy and Daddy.

...is sleeping very well and through the night! Except for when her teeth are bothering her.

… survived her first long weekend away from Mommy and Daddy. (or should I say Mommy and Daddy survived.... wink, wink).  Thanks Auntie Christina and Uncle Mike for watching her.

… continues to smile at everyone!  We got the biggest smiles today when we got back and they were priceless.  Wish I would've caught them on camera.

… continues to be miss independent.

Happy 9 Months Carmen!

You are growing up so darn much..... and changing so much every day!!!!WE LOVE YOU!
