Baby Girl is growing right up! I know that I just wrote her 6-8 month update, but a lot has happened in her little world over the past 30 days. One of the first notable things, is that we got Alaythia's official height and weight at her 9 month check up. Little one is weighing in at 20 pounds and is 28 inches already! Her doctor visit went well, and overall she has been a pretty healthy baby. She even survived all four of us getting the stomach bug without succumbing to it (Thank you, Jesus!!)!
Also new on the roster this month was crawling! This has added a whole new dynamic to my daily life as a stay at home mama!!! Thankfully though she is still slow and learning, and most of our house is safe for her to be in. But what she lacks in speed, she certainly makes up for in determination! If she sets her mind to crawling over to get a certain toy, then she is going to crawl over and get that toy, no matter how many times she might get moved or knocked down in the process. (I have
NO idea where she gets such a stubborn nature about her... And I'm sure Hugh doesn't have the slightest idea either. ;)
This also brings me to the next big change in Alaythia's life, learning the big "no" word. Up to this point, there wasn't really much that she could do that would warrant a "no" from us; however, now that her world is expanding, she has been adding to the list of no-no's daily. :) Her current favorite no-no is spying out cords and using them as teething toys... you can imagine my excitement about that one. :/ So, we've begun the process of learning "no," which, of course, has been quite a big change for her. I know she is understanding me though because now sometimes when she begins moving toward a forbidden object, she will turn to see if I'm looking first.
One last development that is in the works is pulling up/standing. She is getting better at pulling up on low objects into a kneeling position, but she still can't quite pull up all the way to standing yet. If we stand her up next to the coffee table though she will hold on and maintain her stance for a few minutes (or until she gets bored with the toy in front of her).
