Lola - 9 Months

Lola is 9 months old!  And she is seeming more and more like a "person" instead of a baby.

Since my 8-month post, Lola:
  • Got two teeth, her bottom front two.  They are cute and tiny, but very sharp (which I discovered after stupidly putting my finger in her mouth).
  • Started crawling.  She had been getting really close and was moving around a lot, and she finally started properly crawling (on all fours).  Now as soon as I put her on the ground, she starts moving.  She does not like to be still.
  • Has gotten better at eating.  She still doesn't show any interest in people food.  I usually put a few bites of what I'm eating on her tray, and she just plays with it, not getting it anywhere near her mouth.  If I try to feed it to her, her mouth clamps shut.  But she is starting to like baby food, especially fruit, so that's a start.
  • Can pull herself up.  I'm not sure I like this development, because now she can pull up in the crib and stand, which means she plays instead of going to sleep.
  • Sleeps through the night pretty consistently.  She usually goes to bed around 7:30 and gets up around 6:30.  Bedtime is generally easy, although the last two nights she has put up quite a fight.
  • Learned how to wave.  It's just about the cutest thing ever.  Last week I walked upstairs when I got home from work, and Lola was sitting in LaKeisha's lap.  She saw me and immediately waved!  It was so adorable.  I'm trying to get it on video.
This morning we went to the doctor for Lola's 9-month checkup.  No shots today - hooray!  Here is an update on her stats (the doctor said something about them mis-measuring her height last time, so it doesn't look like she grew much, but she did):
  • Weight = 20 lbs (78.7%)
  • Height = 27.5 in (47.3%)
  • Head = 17.5 in (72.2%)
Still a fan of the jumper
