Emily: 9 Months

"Oh mama, not the camera again!

Here we go again: where is the time going!? My little baby is 9 months old today. She's not very little anymore but she's still such a joy! I don't have stats for her because some how her 9 month appointment was scheduled for mid October. Our home scale says she hasn't gained anything but I know that can't be right. She has really taken off on eating solids. Still no teeth but that's not stopping her! She's had some foods that I hadn't planned on giving her yet thanks to her big siblings. She really likes those cheesy scrambled eggs! She crawls a very unique crawl. She crawls with one leg in front and one behind her. She's also working really hard to pull up. She can get onto one foot and one knee and then doesn't know what to do next. I don't think it'll be long!

Daddy has become her favorite person, unless she wants to nurse and well, only one person will do then. When hubby gets home he has to pick her up and hold and talk to her for a little while or she will throw a fit. That's another new thing this month. She's learned to throw fits. Oh what fun are they! Her favorite time to do it, other than when she wants daddy, is when she doesn't want her diaper changed. She arches her back, screams swats her arms and legs. Being carried still calms her down very nicely. I've finally master the back carry with my Mai Tei and Em loves it!

This week's Project 52 theme is collections. Well, I couldn't think of what to photograph so I've included a collection of outtakes from today's photo shoot.
It isn't easy photograph a squirmy baby in a rocky chair:

Maddy's 9 month check up

Yea, I know, she's just about 10 months but she was sick at 9 months. I not only have a chunky monkey but a very happy baby. She's 19 lbs 6.5 oz and 29.5 in tall! She just got 1 shot today and didn't even bat an eye. She actually smiled at the nurse as she put the band-aid on. I also gave the doctor a handful of LLL business cards. He told me thanks b/c he has a lot of new moms that have breastfeeding problems and a lot of the time doesn't know how to help them.

9 Months

Sean had his 9 month well baby check up today. Our little peanut is 15 lbs 13 oz and 26 in long. His growth has slowed down but the doctor said that that's very common in babies that are becoming mobile...and he's not only crawling but walking too. He should start gaining faster in a few months. They said he seemed very healthy and very advanced...I already knew that. lol We'll be going back right after his first birthday and if his weight levels off they may consider checking his thyroid...but they really don't think there will be a problem because most children with a thyroid problem have their weight level off earlier on .. they told me he was perfectly healthy they gave him 2 shots. He does better than me! Though I did have to hold his arms and legs down this time. He immediately nursed and was ok. He fell asleep in the car (about 9:45) and is still asleep.
