Happy Nine Month Birthday, Baby Girl!
You are just a mere three months away from turning ONE YEAR OLD!
Here is what Miss Shelby is up to these days....
You are just a mere three months away from turning ONE YEAR OLD!
Here is what Miss Shelby is up to these days....--Up until this month, we rarely heard you laugh. But now the laughs are coming a bit more frequently, and it just melts our hearts every time we hear it! You seem to laugh the most when we take you outside to the swing.
--cutting your first tooth! I discovered a sharp point on Shelby's bottom gums on Tuesday the 14th, and when I looked in her little mouth my suspicions were confirmed! It's just a teeny white speck right now, but I'm sure we'll be seeing a toothy grin in no time!
--I'm not sure if this is related to you teething, but your not-so-hot eating habits with baby food have gotten much worse lately. Before, you were only eating fruit rice cereal, sweet potatoes, & bananas. But now you will pretty much only eat your fruit rice cereal in the mornings and that's it. I still attempt to feed you the pureed baby food twice a day, but I usually only manage to get one or two bites in your mouth before you start fighting me. It's not a fun time for either of us. Not fun at all. But the good news is that you still enjoy finger foods!
--We are oh so very, very, VERY proud of you b/c this month you decided you were ready to put yourself to sleep for naps and bedtime! You are such a big girl! We used to always rock/hold you to sleep, then you only liked for us to walk and bounce you in our arms as you drifted off to sleep....now we just swaddle you up, place you in your crib, give you a goodnight kiss, and off to sleep you go! We are SO proud of you, Shelby!!!
--You had your first swim lessons this month at the Y and here on base. You did great! Your favorite part is when we would sing/act out Wheels on the Bus with your class...you smiled the whole time!
--Spending lots of time in your baby pool at home!
--Still not rolling over at all when you are awake. But you do roll over on to your tummy to sleep sometimes. So we know you are capable of rolling over...you just never do it in our presence!
--You are completely weaned onto formula now and doing great with it!
--You love to yell/sing or wiggle when you are happy/excited. It's so cute! And we love it that now you can mimic us/do it on command. If we yell/sing or wiggle at you, you will do it back. It's so fun to have you interact with us like that!
--sleeping in a bit later in the mornings, which Mommy & Daddy greatly appreciate! Instead of waking up around 6:30...it's usually 7 or 7:30. But today, it was 8:45! You love your sleep! (This is a far cry from your early days when you fought sleep at every chance you got!)
--You still l.o.v.e storytime!
