Happy 40th, Em!!! This week has been a busy one for you!
On Friday, you attended a baby music class for the first time! It was entertaining to watch you listen to the music and look at all the other babies. There is one song where the music instructor incorporates all of the babies' names into a song, and each of the babies faces lit up when they heard their names being sung. You looked a little confused as to how this stranger knew your name. You were crawling all over the place, playing with all the different musical instruments and tried to take the teacher’s bag and papers! You did have fun singing and dancing though. :)
On Saturday you took what might have been your first standing step!! You were on your play mat and Daddy was sitting on the couch. He said you might have took a step to get closer to him, but I only saw you out of the corner of my eye so I can’t say for sure. ;)
On Sunday you turned 9 months old! To celebrate the momentous occasion, you tried stage 3 purees for the first time -- chicken with stars! It didn't seem like you loved the little chunks, but you tolerated them and ate it up!
On Monday, you finally cut your first top tooth! We've been waiting for that bugger to come out for a while. You also possibly took 3 steps towards me -- or maybe just fell/fumbled, I couldn't tell -- while I was sitting on the floor in the living playing with you!! You took a 1 hour & 2 minute nap in your crib on Monday morning!!! {Mommy & Daddy were both shocked!} Also on Monday, you tried pasta (plain rotini) for the first time! You put it into your mouth and chewed it, but didn't really seem too impressed. Monday marked 39 weeks & 4 days since you're birth, so you've officially been out in the world longer than you were cooking in Mommy's tummy!
You tried pureed beef for the first time on Wednesday, and also tried a stage 3 chicken casserole puree on Tuesday! You didn't love the beef, but I was able to water it down with some winter squash for you. The chicken casserole was a no-go....you don't want the thicker/textured purees yet, and that's okay -- at least you tried it! :)
You've been making a lot of "ma" sounds this week.
You played with your stuffed monkey instead of crying when you woke up on Thursday morning!
All in all it was a fun-filled week!!!
Wow! She's been a busy little girl! Can't believe how big she's getting and all of the new and exciting things she's starting to do....she's just toying with you by *possibly* taking a few steps....at the rate she's going, she'll just take off running without any notice! I love hearing updates about your sweet girl, and I can't believe how fast these past 9 months have gone!
ReplyDeleteShe has been completely toying with us!!! I wouldn't be surprised if she was running around her crib all night while we slept. ;) My original guess was that she'd be walking by sometime in April, so we will see about that!!!
DeleteThank you so much for following along on this journey! You have been such a great support! The past 9 months have just FLOWN!!! It's totally crazy. I'm sure you feel the same about your time with A&A!
