9 months


 We have reached 9 months and Raegan has now been out longer then she was in me!  She has changed, grown and been a lot of fun this last month.  We have enjoyed watching her continue to change and learn so much. 
She is now pulling up on a lot of things, her favorites being her brother's table and anyone who is on the ground. 
She loves to smile and smiles often, but mostly laughs for her brother. 
She is starting to show favorites too and loves to be with mommy.  If I am in the room, she wants to be with me, but she does better around other when I am gone. 
Raegan is a good sleeper and as long as we can keep her healthy (she has had a few colds as of late), she will sleep straight through the night 11-12 hours.  She isn't the greatest napper, but will usually take 2 short (1-2 hour) naps a day. 
Raegan is a talker.  She loves to make the momma sound, baba sound, dada sound and loves to screech and scream.  I love listening to her talk to herself when she first wakes up or even while she is playing.  Those little brain wheels are spinning!
She eats just about everything we give her and anything she can find on the floor.  I will often find her with pieces of grass, toys, food and even carpet in her mouth.  She loves keeping us on our toes and we are learning just how unbaby-proofed our house is!  Some of her favorite foods are sweet potatoes, carrots, pears, watermelon, grapes and cereal.  We really haven't found anything she won't eat yet.
She is now crawling although she will still switch back to scooting and even tries to do the polar bear crawl, where she will be on hands and feet.  Most often though is crawling (when I don't debilitate her by putting a dress on her) and some scooting. 
Mostly Raegan just loves to sit up and see what is going on.  She uses her feet as extra hands to play with things and it is pretty funny to watch.  We love watching this baby learn and grow and can't wait for the next 9 months.  In fact, while we were at church today and she was talking loudly and squirming all over the place, I thought 9 more months and she will go to nursery!  It's never too early to get excited right!

 


We love you Baby Girl!
