Eliza {Nine Months}

Eliza has really grown up over the last month! It's so fun to watch her take in her world.

 Nine Months Old

Eating: Little Miss nurses 4 times daily and still looooves to eat table food. Within reason, she pretty much eats what we eat. We still have not introduced the high allergen foods. She seems a carb lover so far and always picks the pancakes and blueberries over the eggs :)

Sleeping: Ah, sweet sleep. Eliza wakes around 6:30 or 7:00am, takes 2 solid naps, and goes to bed around 7:30pm. She fully self-soothes, and I love watching her on the camera playing and babbling to herself then lay down and fall asleep.

Skills: Pulling to stand and starting to cruise a little bit. She really interacts with everyone more, and enjoys dancing to music, blowing kisses, and trying on sunglasses and tiaras. So far, she uses her left hand more than her right (when shoveling the food in!).

Teeth: Still just 2 on the bottom!

Happy Times: Exploring her environment, and really excited about being able to reach sister's toys now! She is still a generally happy baby!

Unhappy Times: Thankfully the super clingy phase is passing. She definitely gets sassy if someone takes something away from her, but shakes her head 'no' when she knows it's off limits.

Stats: Eliza weighs 27.8 inches (50%) and weighs 18 lbs 6 oz (50%). She wears 12-18 mo clothing.

Eliza,
What a fun stage you are in right now! You really seems to have an understanding of how things work in your little world and I love watching you use objects for their purpose (spoon & bowl, hair brush, clothing, books, etc). That giggle is the sweetest sound ever and I wish I could bottle it. Keep laughing sweet girl!
