We had our 9 month apt. today and Jillian is doing so great and getting so big everyday! I can't believe she is already 9 months old. It seems like yesterday we were bringing her home. Here are some pictures and the new things Jillian is up to these days!
Jillian weighs 18 lbs. 10.5 oz. (which puts her in the 50th percentile), she is 28 3/4 inches long (she's tall, that puts in the upper 85th percentile!). She is doing awesome! I think she is getting taller more than rounder these days! Jillian eats three solid food meals a day. She really likes feeding herself, she does pretty well picking grains of rice and putting them into her mouth. She really likes black beans, avacado, apple sauce, prunes, blueberry/pear. She will eat most veggies but I can't say she loves them because she will eat the fruit over the veggies anyday!
Jillian is FINALLY sleeping through the night! We did have to let her cry it out...but those three nights of crying were worth it, everyone is sleeping now=) Jillian is no longer taking little catnaps. She takes two naps for me, one for 1.5-2 hours in the morning and the other 1-1.5 in the afternoon. This is all great, but Jillian feels the need to start her day at 5:30 AM!
Jillian is ALMOST crawling. She is going backwards on her tummy more than forward. She gets into the position and rocks, but not forward movement yet. She likes to scoot on her bottom and gets to where she wants to go that way. She is into everything. Jason and I are rethinking some furniture so she doesn't get into things (tv cords look like so much fun!). She likes to stand as well, we might not crawl for very long. She pulls herself up when you hold her hands and can support her own weight holding on.
great pictures kelley!!
