Baby Girl: 9 Months

Holy cow. Brynn is a mover now. She wants to be crawling and climbing all over everything. She's still very happy and rarely cries unless provoked. She's a great eater and wants to try all our food. She's starting to feed herself finger foods but it's still quite difficult for her.

Most of the pictures looked like this during this month's photos:

 

Family pictures...this is about all we got out of Brynn.

Brynn started the month climing on the slide like this...

...and ended the month climbing the slide like this.

She played with Augi the Doggie.

Showed Great Grandma what a great climber she is becoming.

Learned to climb stairs.

She is thrilled with herself any time she learns to pull herself up on something.

First time swimming in the little pool.

Happy 9 Months, Baby Girl!

--> Weight: 18 pounds 8 ounces   Height: 27 inches
Clothing Size: 6-9 months, some 9-12 months  
Diaper Size: In cloth diapers but would be in size 3   
Milestones: Real crawling when it's not easy or is uncomfortable to drag herself across the ground. Pulling herself to standing on EVERYTHING. Going up stairs. Clapping.  
Eating: Brynn usually wakes up around 6 or 7am and nurses then will eat breakfast about an hour later. I want her to continue to want to nurse but she seems less and less interested. When she sees food she bounces around and grunts and reaches for it. Starting to feed herself. Eating everything.
Sleeping: She usually naps 2 times a day (sometimes 3 if she wakes up really early in the morning). These naps are generally 2 hours, unless interrupted by a screaming brother, she will sometimes sleep even longer than that. Her night-time sleeping has been even worse the last week or so. She's getting her top two teeth (which is what is obviously to blame for this horrible sleep she's getting at night) and they are so close to coming in so hopefully she'll be sleeping better soon. She sleeps in about 2-3 hour spurts at night then wakes up crying and cannot get herself back to sleep. Nothing soothes her except nursing. I really want to try a binki but I'm pretty sure she won't take one. This 2-3 hour spurt goes on throughout the night. She is usually sleeping by 7:30pm and wakes up for real between 6:30 and 7:30.
Communication: Lots of dada, yelling, gets really talkative when she's tired, blowing raspberries, lots of jabbering,
Nicknames: Brynners, Baby Brynn, Brynnie
