Ella is pulling up on everything, surfing furniture, feeding herself puffs and rice crackers, climbing stairs like a pro, waving (when she feels like it), climbing over things, and sipping from juice box straws.
We've heard her say a variety of "words," including mama, dada, papa, nana, rara, yaya, baba, wawa, and ffff with the occasional "h" and "t" thrown in to the mix. She is quite the babbler...but mama and dada are the only words she seems to use descriminately.
I can still keep hats and headbands on her head if I distract her for a minute after I put them on her.
She is in almost entirely 6-12 month clothes, though she still has some season appropriate 3-6 month clothes.
Her morning nap is creeping later and later and her afternoon nap is getting shorter, so we are going to start making the move toward 1 nap a day.
She still has stranger anxiety but has spent some QT with Grammi and still has no problem going to Alysha and gym playcare. She still tends to be fussy in the mornings at Christine's and then mellow out after nap time.
She is sleeping from 7-3a, get a 5 minute feeding of 4oz and sleeps until 6:30/7a...we are going to talk to the pediatrician about trying to drop that 3am feeding at her next appointment,
She LOVES LOVES LOVES swim class.
Here are some photos of her at 3/4 year old!
(did i mention she is still toothless and pretty bald)
Happy Nine Months, Gabriella! You are getting so big. We love you!
