Size clothes: 9 months
Sleeping: Sleep training is in full force at bedtime. She used to fall asleep while nursing, but now she seems wide awake after nursing and therefore screams when I put her in her bed...no matter how long I rock her before putting her down. I don't know if this is a separation anxiety thing, teething, or what...but it has been tough! Overall, though, she is sleeping 12-13 hours at night..usually waking up once during the night about 3 or 4 days out of the week. Nursing is still the only thing that calms her down in the middle of the night and I'm not sure if that's because she is actually hungry or just wants the comfort of it. Either way, I don't mind doing it because I know this is not going to last forever and there is a part of me that absolutely LOVES this time with her. So...sleep training at bedtime, Mommy to the rescue in the middle of the night :) She is taking two naps...both anywhere from 1 1/2-3 hours.
Eating: Likes most baby food, loves all table food she has been given. Eats food three times a day, but still nursing four to five times a day and therefore getting most of her nutrition that way. She is starting to get extremely distracted when nursing, which makes me think she is getting ready to drop a feeding...we shall see!
Fun things to note this month...
Clapping all the time...and oh so proud of herself when she does!
Waves bye-bye pretty consistently
Smiles all the time and scrunches her entire face up when she laughs...it is the absolute cutest thing :)
Her personality shines through her facial expressions - I love this about her!
Separation anxiety is going strong. She always fusses when I drop her off at church or at the gym, but her teachers say she calms down quickly.
Emma LOVES toys - she will sit and play with them forever! She wants to get alllll of the toys out..and really manages to do so..every day!
Don't be fooled by the look on her face in this picture...Sweet girl adores her brother and wants to do everything he does, play with everything he does, eat everything he does....I think Watson is picking up on this too so we are having lots of talks about being a good example for his "Sissy." I pray this will always be the case in their life!
This girl is QUICK! She can get from point A to point B in no time...and nothing is going to get in her way when she is trying to get somewhere or do something!
Sweet baby worn out after church!
