Carly Turns 9 Months Old

Carly turned 9 months old on August 10th. What a sweet & amazing little person she's developing into. Eric and I fall more in love with her every day.




Things we'd like to remember about Carly at 9 months old:
  • She can take 4-5 steps by herself without holding on to anything or anyone.
  • She's curious about everything and gets into everything. Keeps us busy!
  • She loves to laugh and be tickled.
  • Says "Momma and Dadda" and babbles a few other words.
  • Eats like a champ! Can now eat small pieces of chicken or veggies, cheese, cheerios, etc.
  • Has two bottom teeth and two top teeth are almost in.
  • Has gotten over a lot of her attachment fears and no longer cries when left with a sitter at the gym daycare.
  • Loves to play peak-a-boo
  • Will dance anytime she hears music.
  • Is learning to use a sippy cup. She prefers to use it as a pacifier for now.
  • She LOVES her big sister, Maddie, even though Maddie enjoys sitting on her and pushing her around a bit. They play together so well.
  • Eyes still blue.
  • Seems to prefer her left hand for eating and playing. Let's see if she'll be left-handed like me.
  • Still nurses every 3-4 hrs (except at night). I have a feeling that weening will be more difficult than it was with Maddie
  • Is still not a great sleeper. Naps short and infrequently and wakes 1-2 times at night. We're still working on it. :-)
