Maria turned 9 months on October 6! As usual, I am slightly late getting around to blogging about it. Story of my life...
It was not easy getting her picture this time around!
I think her thighs are slimming out. Do you see it? :-)
So what is Miss Maria up to these days?
*Maria wears 6-9 month clothes and 9 month clothes.
*Maria is in size 3 diapers.
*Maria still naps three times a day. :-) Her morning nap is about an hour. Her afternoon nap is around 1 1/2-2 hours. Her late afternoon nap is usually about 45 minutes! She sleeps from 7:45 pm- 7:30/8am!
*Maria likes to be laid down in her crib to nap or sleep. She does not want to be held...she rarely cries when we lay her down! So OPPOSITE of big brother!
*Maria eats a lot and loves meal time! She has oatmeal and fruit in the morning. She eats one stage 2 veggie and one stage 2 fruit for lunch. She has an 8 ounce bottle around 2! She eats two stage 2 foods for dinner. She has an 8 ounce bottle with oatmeal in it right before bed time!
*We have been introducing table food to our sweet girl, too! She loves mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. She also likes cheeze its and vanilla wafers...these are broken up into tiny pieces! :-)
Snoozing with Grammy! This is very rare for her to fall asleep on someone...only when extreme exhaustion sets in does this happen!
*Maria has her two bottom teeth, and more coming in!
*Maria loves having her teeth and gums brushed!
*She crawls VERY well. She is very coordinated when she crawls, and very fast!
*She stands on her own for a few seconds!
*She walks around furniture or holding my hands very well and without any problems. She will probably be walking any day!
*She waves bye bye and hi on cue (most of the time!) or when someone says the words to her!
*Maria loves bath time. She does get frustrated when Greg is in her space in the tub!
*Maria lets us know that she is not okay with Greg taking things from her and picking on her!
*She plays pretty well on her own in the playroom!
*She loves getting into the Tupperware!
*Maria likes to play with Greg's cars! She loves to read books, too!
*Her favorite toy is probably her Violet dog that she falls asleep with!
Kevin put her in the offertory at Church!
*Maria is very social in public. She loves the attention she gets from others and always makes sure to let people know the attention is welcome with lots of smiles!
*Maria is a Mommy's girl!
*Maria travels very well in the car! Praise God for two awesome travelers!
*She loves when Greg plays peek a boo with her while she is in the high chair. Greg knows how to make Maria laugh better than anyone else!
*Maria has a snorty kind of laugh.
*Maria can climb up the stairs like a champ.
*When there is just one step to go down, Maria knows to turn herself around and climb down and does it without falling.
Sweet girl!
*Maria likes to climb on Greg's bed after bath time! Maria is not good at getting off of the bed!
*She talks and babbles all day long!
*She says MAMAMA and DADADA very well and to the correct parent!
*Maria understands object permanence now.
*She drinks very well from her sippy cup! She just has water in it after each meal.
*She bangs objects together and shakes others to make noise!
*Maria is getting better and better with her pincer grasp...not quite there though!
:-)
*She understands the word no! She does not always listen to it...she kind of just grins at you. She still requires a physical redirection most of the time!
*Maria has some stranger anxiety. Nothing consistent. She usually lets others hold her, but usually not for long. Then she wants someone familiar to take her back.
*She would rather be down and crawling around then held or contained somewhere!
*She is beginning to scream when things don't go her way.
*She does not like keeping bows and headbands on! She always takes hats off right away if we put one on her head!
Just hanging out!
Her smile makes every day perfect!
Out like a light.
It's hard to believe that it will be only three more months until this sweet angel is 1! Time is certainly flying, but raising her (and Greg) is the best ride I could be on!
