Even at the ripe old age of 9 months I am still the shiny
new toy at home. Every morning my brothers are so excited to see me. They are
constantly playing with me and kissing me all over. It’s good to be adored. I’ve
really grown-up this past month! I can sit completely unassisted now for any
period of time. Mom was giving me a bath yesterday laying down and I didn’t
like that one bit. I rolled onto my tummy and got very scared because my face
was so close to the water. I take baths sitting now.
I am eating everything. Mom puts it on my tray and I eat it.
She said she’s never had such a good little eater at this age. I still won’t
use a bottle or sippy cup, but have started taking sips of water out of a cup.
I really love string cheese and animal crackers. I still nurse, but am easily
distracted, so Mom tries to nurse me upstairs alone.
I continue to be a good napper. Two naps a day for a total
of 4 hours of day time sleep give or take. I go to bed easy at night too. Mom’s
been ignoring me at night if I cry and I usually stop and fall back asleep
within a few minutes. My problem is falling asleep somewhere other than a bed.
I can’t do it. I refuse to fall asleep in someone’s arms and only occasionally
fall asleep in the car. If I do fall asleep in the car I wake up immediately
when it stops. Church is no fun on Sundays and traveling is tricky too.
I did a lot of traveling this month. We flew to Washington
and Mom and I flew to Utah for Great Grandpa’s funeral. Overall I was a good
traveler. I was a bit winey and wiggly on the airplane (because I wouldn’t
sleep). I slept well in the cabin and hotel though. I loved all the action and
visiting with so many unfamiliar faces. I am at such a fun stage!
