Brooklyn 9 months

Our baby is 9 months old!!!! She is growing and learning so fast and I love it!!! She is hilarious and knows it. She brings so much joy into our home and the kids still adore her!!! They are always sad when we put her down of a nap or bedtime. She had her 9 month check up on March 5th....
Height - 27 1/4 inches (25-50%)
Weight - 18 pounds (25-50%)


She takes her socks off all the time and sucks on them!



She is still not a big eater, only drinking 6 oz at a time once in the morning and once at night. And she eats a small bowl of baby food mixed with rice cereal for lunch and dinner. We're not used to a little eater. I took this picture after she bumped the spoon that was in my hand when I was feeding her!

Gavin LOVES to play with her and dress her up!


She also got her first tooth on Christmas Eve. Since then, she's had one more next to it come in. They are both on the bottom. She wasn't even cranky...I didn't even knoe the first one had broken through.










She is not crawling yet but is rolling and scooting everywhere. She gets on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth.


She says "Dadadadadadada" sometimes, but today I heard her saying "Mamamama!" Hooray!!! She loves me!



She is always playing with her binky and doing funny things with it. She favorites are putting in her mouth upside down and putting the whole bottom part in her mouth. We laugh and that makes her laugh! She's so dang cute!


During the first week of January, Brooklyn had tubes put in her ears. She had 4 ear infections in 6 months and that is not a good sign. It is always hard to let your child be put under for a procedure, and the worst is when they are coming out of the anesthesia. She screamed and screamed. It was so sad. Zane and Gavin both had tubes put in and Lindsay had to have 8 cavities filled (6 of them had to have silver caps), so all of our kids have had to be put under before the age of the 3.

9 months already? She is so beautiful. Yes, she is a light eater, isn't she... I wonder why that is? My two month old was drinking the same amount as Val's 5 month old (4 oz every 3 hours) last month!
She is so sweet!
