9 Months

Greta is 9 months old already!  I can't believe it's time for pictures again!! I have been a bit delayed with getting all of her pics done, so we'll see when I get around to her 9 month:). Feels like she just had her 6 month pics done!  She is still so lovable and sweet.  I am curious to see if she continues this same disposition throughout life--super sweet yet super interested in figuring everything out.  She is a curious little girl and very determined so at this age, that can mean getting into trouble!  She wants to open every cupboard and every drawer and wants to explore every unknown.  She is a complete mamma's girl which I admit, sometimes I like:).  She cries when certain people look at her, but with most people is fine (just seems like a select few she finds quite frightening for some reason).  She does fine being dropped off at nursery, so that is nice. 
She is wearing 9  month clothing mainly--she can still fit in some 6 month yet also fits in some 12 month.  She wears size 3 diapers and I would guess will for quite awhile.  She is getting some formula but mainly frozen breast milk yet.  And I still have quite the supply left:).  I quit pumping I believe around 6 months and have purchased 3 cans of formula since then plus a sample can, so not too bad:).  She has dropped her evening nap recently so she normally just has a morning and afternoon nap. She gets 3 naps on days still when she either naps really short for her first two naps (like only an hour each) or if she misses one.  She eats about anything we give her and loves to eat.  She drinks her bottles good on her own--I often put her in her carseat (strapped or she'll escape)--otherwise if you feed her a bottle she gets SO distracted by everything around her that she is very hard to feed.  She LOVES standing and can take steps a little bit holding on to things.  I would guess that she'd be walking by a year. 
We have a helmet appointment tomorrow so we'll see how her head is growing.  So far they keep saying that her head is growing slow:(.  But it's really not bad having it on, she doesn't mind at all, and to us, her head now looks great!  I was "that" mom and brought her to the doctor on Saturday because I was afraid she had an ear infection (she had had an eye infection and cold and then woke in the night Friday night which they had said to look out for), but she didn't.  But at least we got her weight and height on her 9 month birthday:).  She was 18 lbs even and I think 28"?  I could be wrong on the height though and actually, maybe she was 17 lbs even, hmm, at least we'll get it in a couple of weeks at her 9 month appointment:). 

We love having her as a part of our family and most of the time her big brother and sis love her too--sometimes a little TOO much and Gibs has some issues being a little over affectionate:).  Happy 9 months sweet baby girl!!
