height: around 27 inches
size: Still 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. We’ve pulled out some 9-12 month clothing, and it’s pretty big on her still.
sleep: She’s still in her crib – thank goodness! She gets up around 2:00 every few days, and usually ends up in bed with us when that happens. She takes two naps a day, usually around an hour long.
eat: She’s still breastfeeding on demand, and since it’s summer and I’m home, she’s eating at least 5 times a day. She still eats whatever we are eating. Her favorites lately are cheese, goldfish crackers, bananas, blueberries, and apples. She’s starting turning away purees and yogurt. I think she really enjoys feeding herself and doesn’t want to be fed with a spoon.
teeth: She’s got two on bottom and two on top that are all the way through. There are two more on top that are almost through. She’s been a little drooly, but not horrible.
moving: I’d put money on her in any baby crawling race. She’s so fast! She pulls up on everything and she’s standing on her own. She took three steps over the weekend to get to her Papaw. I think walking is in her near future.
Talking: She’s a talker. She mimics a lot of what we say. She uses “Dada,” “Bo Bo,” “hi,” “bye” pretty regularly.
Likes: Bowen, swimming, eating
Dislikes: being left alone, sitting in the carseat
