9 Month Update on Kate Ross
WEIGHT: 19.4 lbs 50-75%
LENGTH: 28 inches 50-75%
HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE: 18 inches 90-95%
(glad her head percentages were not this high as
a newborn!)
Teeth--She has 4 teeth (2 on top and 2 on bottom) and has 3 that are just now breaking the skin. For a grand total of 7!!!!
Social--She is still delightful as ever. Laughs and smiles most all the time. This baby loves to wave and waves to us when we walk into the room while flashing that big smile--SWEET! She started clapping while in the bath at NacNac's last week. She will also dance(bounce up and down while moving her head) when asked. Still does great at church nursery (the only time I am really away from her).
Sleep--definately could be better, but with being on the go so much since she was born we probably have not esablished the best sleeping habits. Also, being the light sleeper that she is, and having 6 and 4 year old brothers in the house can make for too much activity for a nap.
Eating--down to 3 bottles a day and she really does not care much about those. She would much rather be on the floor exploring than sitting in my lap taking a bottle. :( She is eating mostly all table food. She likes green beans, peas, grilled cheese, cheese ravioli, rice cereal, fruit, and loves juice in her sippy cup. I love putting food on her tray and letting her feed herself--she likes it too!
Movement--crawling everywhere-FAST! Crawls JUST LIKE Hayes...one knee down and uses the other foot to push (I'll have to post video). Pulling up on anything and everything she can and will even take a few steps while holding onto coffee table. If she goes missing, we can usually find her in the boys' room. She LOVES them and their room! This makes me nervous because they have some little bitty toys (legos, puzzle pieces, marbles..etc) that would go straight to her mouth. They do pretty well to watch out for these things--I have had several lessons on what can and can't go into her mouth with them.
Vocal--babbles "dada" and now is onto "mama"..not sure if she knows what she is saying or not, but she sure crawls around the house during the day saying "mamamamama". :) The verdict is still out on her first word.
