Emma is 9 Months





Ms. Emma is now 9 months and is into everything!  But it's a good thing as it's forcing us to baby proof a little bit more and for her sisters to clean up after themselves or she will get into their stuff.  I'll admit - I am secretly a little happy when Emma destroys something and I get to throw it away and it's a "lesson learned".

So on to our milestones from last month:

  • CRAWLING FORWARDS is our biggest change from last month.  Not that she couldn't get everywhere, now she doesn't get stuck underneath things (as much).  
  • Hits her head on things more since she is crawling forwards - not sure how she doesn't see these things coming.
  • Looks for an audience before she starts to cry if she falls over now
  • Has started pulling up to her knees a couple of times on her activity table
  • Still just 8 teeth but I think we are close for some molars this month, she is chewing on everything
  • Gives open mouthed/slobbery kisses if you pucker up for her
  • Waves at you a little bit if you wave to her
  • Hair puller!
  • Still not a big fan of bananas.  
  • Has tried chicken, working on some new meats to add in to the mix.
  • Lowered her crib so she is now in "baby jail" as the girls call it.
  • Still eats, naps, and sleeps like a champ.
  • Is still very content to play and sit on her own, looking for more interaction from her sisters
  • Went (halfway) down a slide at the park for the first time
  • Lots of babbling, but still no "Mama" even though I say it to her all the time, still determined that will be her first word.
  • Got "promoted" into the big kid room at daycare so she can play with the other kids.  So far so good.
That's about all I can think of for now.  She is a wonderful baby and we can't get enough of her.
