9 months!


This was a busy month for Audra!
  • She had her 9 month Dr. appointment a couple of weeks ago and she was 15lbs and 7oz and 27.5 inches tall. Since becoming mobile she dropped down to 5th percentile for weight but is 50th percentile for height. I'm just glad she is on the charts since neither I or any of my siblings made it on there for weight! Her pediatrician said she probably will fall off the chart by her birthday but it's totally fine.
  • She loves climbing to a stand on anything including the sliding glass door and my pant leg and spends her days going from one object to another to stand. It is pretty cute to look down and see her standing next to me just holding onto me with one hand.
  • She also loves cruising along furniture.
  • She can wave goodbye sometimes but not every time we ask her.
  • Since becoming so mobile she is into EVERYTHING!!! I pretty much follow her around the house all day making sure she doesn't hurt herself.
  • She thinks it's pretty fun to use her cardboard box as a walker. I know fancy right? :)
  • She still eats pureed food but loves to feed herself pieces of chicken and turkey and avocado and banana. She especially loves feeding her food to Lucy so now Lucy spends most meal times in her kennel so Audra isn't tempted to feed her.
  • She can now say Dada too!
  • She is sooooo much happier now that she is on the move!
  • Every time I go to get her in her crib she is standing now!
I think that is it! I seriously can't believe how big she is getting and how much she is changing every day now! I just feel so grateful to be her mama! Even on the longest days she is such a joy!!

Love all the new pics! Thank you for posting new ones of her - she is just a little mover and shaker! Naomi still has no teeth at 8 months - we are wondering when it will happen! Can't wait to see pics with Audra's new little teeth! She is just precious.
