Esther @ 9 months

{March 16th}

1. She is pulling herself up on everything (we lowered her mattress).

2. She learned how to drink from a straw. 

3. I need/have/want to stop nursing by the end of the month. Our big VACA is only a couple months away so this girl has to get into SHAPE!

4. Dr. Lash checked her iron so that maybe we could just put her on whole milk early. It was a no go. It was just barely under what it should be so we'll wait a month or two.

5. SHE IS STILL MY BEST EATER! So refreshing after Alex who wouldn't eat anything. She will eat anything and everything and everything and anything.

6. She's over baby food. Right after I just stocked up of course because of a sale.

7. She just eats what we eat now. It's so nice.

8. Her two top teeth came in this month. So 4 teeth total.

9. She claps when you say yay. Waves when you say bye bye. And dances when she hears music.

10. I can't believe she will be 1 in three short months! Her celebration is already in the plans.
11. She didn't gain one single ounce since last month. He assured me this is totally normal for nursing babies. Around 6-9 months they start thinning out because of crawling and all that jazz. I just want my chubby baby back. 
12. She's sleeping 11-12 hours at night now. With two 2.5-3 hour naps. 
13. She pulls the funniest faces.

This girl's 9 month stats:

Weight- 18lbs and 10oz (50%)

Length- 28.5 inches (80%)

Head- 45cm (75%)
