9 months old

Eli you are 9 months old! I can't believe that in 3 short months you will be 1 year old!

Here is what you have been up to this month:

• You are a great sleeper and take 2-3 naps a day. You go to bed around 7:30 pm and wake up around 6:00 a.m.
• You have 6 bottles a day and just love your "ba bas." If you see one and you don't get it right away you get upset.
• You haven't been a big fan of baby food. You do love pears and apples and are starting to warm up to the idea of eating something other than your bottles. You are getting really good at eating your puffs cereal and are a pro at getting them into your mouth now.
• You love drinking water out of your sippy cup. Again, if you see it and you don't get it right away you get upset.
• You are a rolling machine and scoot backwards and can army crawl forward. I am thinking that this is just your way of crawling, because you are able to get anywhere you want.
• You are almost able to get into a sitting position by yourself from your belly.
• You are babbling constantly and saying "igna" and "ignee" all the time.
  
• You absolutely love your doggies.
• You love going on walks in your stroller.
• You have such a great attention span and we read books all the time.
  
• You have such a joyful and happy personality. You really are magnetic. Your smile is contagious and your laugh melts my heart.

I love you sunshine,
Mama
