Sooo, I typed this at 8 months, never got her pictures organized, and now look, she’s now 9.5 months old! I’ll update from the past 1.5 months in italics..
Yikes, I can’t believe 3 months has gone by already!...now 4.5 months!
Our lil munchkin is still “lil” …she hasn’t really grown much lately.. Her growth has been in her height and not weight..she’s already shed all that chunky monkey she had goin on! At her 9mo. check up, since her 6 mo. check up, she’d only gained one pound, but grew 2 inches. Her weight dropped to 40% and height 79%...funny I remember when she was 99% weight at 2-3 months! She eats everything, and is perfectly healthy.
She is still toothless as well, I personally can’t complain. I do hear the later they cut teeth, the easier it is on them, so that’s promising! Not anymore! She has 2 bottom teeth coming in!
She’s not crawling either. I will tell ya though, she sure is a squirmy lil bug! She sits like a champ and plays well by herself. She is really good at doing push-ups too! I’m quite impressed! She is soooo darn close to crawling, everytime she leans forward, we think it’s IT, but she just backs herself down.. She likes to stand up holding on to you too and dance!
She is fascinated with the animals more now too…she gets so excited to see the cats and dog!
I have really enjoyed making all fruits & veggies foods too! Landri definitely is tasting the rainbow. She is a fantastic eater, pretty persistant too. The only thing she has made a funny face with is avocados! She will eat it, but makes a face everytime, of course very entertaining for us! She’s on to eating pureed meats as well with no problem.
She likes water too…her first attempts at a sippy cup were not pleasant, so I tried using just a normal glass…which she LOVED! You have to watch this video, she gets so excited! It’s hilarious how she laps up the water like a dog! This video also shows how funny it is when she puts on her temper tantrum show! This video was when she was 6.5 months or so.
Speaking of water, she has learned to splash in the bath! I could almost mop the entire kitchen after she’s done!
I taped this video to send to Shon while he was overseas in Bahrain for 3 weeks in February, doing his annual training. The day he got there is when they had Bahrain in the news for riots & demonstrations! Luckily they were not in the same area. During this time he was gone Landri was definitely more fussy…which I didn’t put it together until he returned…she really knew he was gone, b/c she has not acted the same since he got home! I was very thankful that my parents came for a week in the middle to help out!
Now that the weather is so nice, we spend a lot of time outside swinging on our porch swing and can easily spend an hour out there! She absolutely loves it! Shon and I look forward to doing many family things outside this Spring/Summer. We spend most Saturdays outside at some festival going on around! Landri loves to people watch and takes in all the sites in her stroller.
Landri sure is 'talking' more and more! She can clap, and wave 'bye-bye' now too! We're working on her blowing kisses now. :-)
As I’m long overdue, here are many photos to catch up with! They are chronological up to today.
