Claire turned 9 months old!

My baby is 9 months already!

• She nurses 3-4x/day and 1-2x/night. And takes 3 full meals of solids.
• She takes 2 good naps a day - 9:30AM and 1:30PM for 1-2 hours each.
• Her nighttime sleeping is usually 7:30PM - 7:30AM with 3 wake ups! (11PM, 1AM, 5AM)
• She still hates to be on her belly but can plateau on all fours. She even started rocking back and forth but no crawling yet.
• When she sits she does lunge forward to attempt crawling, especially when she wants a toy. She's mastered how to move her self without crawling to get what she wants.
• She can roll over so she sleeps on her belly in her sleepsack - and she does only sleep in her crib. (Where Wesley was comfortable in our bed, she fusses too much).
• She has good pincher movement and can pick up food.
• She stands amazingly well holding your hands or the couch.

Her 9 month well visit at the doctors went fine - aside from the fact that she isn't very strong (muscle tone is lower than normal) and probably won't be crawling or moving any time soon. The doctor was happy that she can stand supported against the couch so that was enough.

She weighs 20lbs 6oz (80%) and measures 27.75 inches (54%). (Link to Wesley's 9-month post)

This was by far the hardest photo shoot: she kept wanting to tear off her sticker and her nose was running and all she wanted to do was stand ... I gave up!
