She's not moving around a lot. She's a pro at getting around just by rolling, and she loves sliding backwards, but she is doing an army crawl. I wouldn't think it will be much longer when she's up on her knees and all throughout the house.
She's catching on a little better to food. She is a very independent girl and prefers to feed herself. I usually just give her some peas or blueberries or whatever soft fruit or veggies is around the house. Not a lot is eaten, but I hope she's getting the hang of big people food. She now can take a bottle herself and is such a big girl holding her bottle. In the mornings and night, I still like to hold her though. Our special time together.
The weather is getting warmer and she's fitting into her 9-month clothes. She looks so adorable in them. It's so nice not to worry about bundling her up when taking her out in the cold.
We've enjoyed going on walks and being out and about with her. In early April, we graduated her to the convertible car seat. It's so nice not having to deal with the awkwardly heavy car seat carrier. Plus I love getting to carry her around. She really is becoming a big girl.
About a week before the 9-month birthday, we discovered that she has a tooth coming in on the bottom. When we went to the doctor, she pointed out that another one is growing right next to it! So exciting! I just hope she doesn't have a lot of pain with them.
One little problem that has occurred is separation anxiety. She has it mostly for her mommy, but it also happens at day care with her teacher. She just looks so sad if I leave the room that it breaks my heart, but I want her to be a bit more self-sufficient, so I try to fight picking her up all the time.
We can't wait for her first birthday party. We've already started on the planning. So happy to celebrate the birth of this amazing child that has rocked our world!
