9 months old

Caitlynn is now 9 months old and a very busy little girl! She weighs 19 lbs 1 oz and is 28 1/2 inches long. She sleeps from 7:00pm- 7:00am and takes a nap from 11:30-1:30ish. She is down to drinking 3 bottles a day, eating three meals a days, and having 1-2 snacks in between. This month she tried: zucchini, cantaloupe, chicken, and string cheese. When we went for her 9 month check-up, her pediatrician gave us the "green light" for introducing her to meats, milk products, and small amounts of what we eat for dinner. He is happy with her growth and development and says she is right on track. She also went to Kennedy Krieger for a follow-up visit. They are also pleased with her development and said she is right on track. Great news all around!

This has been a HUGE developmental month for her. She has learned how to crawl and pull herself up on furniture (see videos below). She started off slow but has really gotten the hang of it and can move rather quickly now, especially if she is motivated by something she shouldn't have (i.e. the phone, Rocco's food, etc.)! She has both bottom teeth and is cutting her top teeth. She loves going to Mom-mom's for daycare and will happily go to her in the mornings when I'm dropping her off. She has started to cry when "strangers" try and hold her and only stops when she goes back to her mommy or daddy. She continues to be a joy and we love watching her grow!
