"Hey Cade, which apps did you say are your favorites?"
Look at those baby blues. This past week we've seen a new side of Reese. The sick and somewhat grouchy side. She was down and out with a fever for a couple days and now just the runny nose and congestion has stuck around. Been using tons of those fancy boogie wipes but still ended up with a red nose, and a small cut even.
Usually she is just as happy as ever, but has been a little on-edge with the sickness and difficulty breathing...and the FOUR new teeth that are coming in.
Now she probably just cries as much as other kids. Just breaks my heart.
Stats and size:
We finally just went to see the good doc for her 9 month appointment and shots. Reese's daddy took her and said the shots were a little difficult for him too. Had the beginnings of our cough and congestion but the doctor said it was just one of those things that will have to run its course. I'm glad we haven't had the stomach bug at our house yet (famous last words, I'm sure).
Weight: 17 pounds on the dot, 10th percentile
Height: 28.5 inches, 57th percentile
Head: 17 1/2 inches, 72nd percentile
In clothes she's in between sizes a bit right now. 9 months are getting snug but 12 months is still pretty big. We're just moving to longer fleece sleepers at night. The 9 month ones are tight on the toes but she has plenty of room to grow in the 9-12 months ones. Still size 3 diapers...hopefully for awhile because I just went to Sam's.
On the Move:
Reese crawls super-fast and gets up the stairs well and has just begun attempting to go down the stairs somewhat...usually needs a spotter. She can stand and sit without having to pull herself up on anything but takes no steps forward. Not even thinking about it. Just drops to the floor to crawl.
Food:
She's not liking baby food as much as she seems to want more texture to her food. She prefers pasta, fruit, and cut up steamed veggies that she can feed herself. She is our eater and will continue to eat until we quit offering something. She is becoming a "grazer" it seems when it comes to nursing, or maybe it just seems that way to me. She's easily distracted and just prefers to eat a little at a time...or she's eating really fast and I don't realize that she's done already. When at the sitter she has 2 pumped bottles and then I nurse about 4 times at home throughout the evening and morning.
Sleep:
Lately not so hot. Quite interrupted with her sickness. She hasn't ever really woken up angry, until now. She wakes up so mad and we're not really sure what we can do to help her. She goes to bed around 8 and will eat again around 11pm (more for my sake than hers...we dropped that feeding once but now its back) and then on a normal night will sleep through until 6 or so when she wakes to eat again. She will get up for the day around 8:30 and then takes a lengthy early afternoon nap and a cat nap around supper time.
Social:
Very responsive to smiles and attention from people. Also goes crazy over music and starts to move up and down "dancing" and clapping. Likes to be wherever Cade is and attempts to do whatever he does. She's starting to speak up a little more and babble some, mostly just to herself. Responds when you talk to her and will repeat sounds you make. She gets more vocal the more tired she is. Reese is quite the mama's girl. I think it's purely because mama's got the food but I do love how she likes to stick close to me.
Hard to believe that first birthday is just around the corner!
