Margaret Ruth Thorne has been a part of our family for nine months now.
At nine months, Maggie
- is (weight check May 10)
- is (height check May 10)
- eats 5-6 times a day through a combination of formula (6 ounce bottles), baby food, and some table food (Cheerios, steamed mixed vegetables, bread, chicken, banana). She is still primarily eating baby food. She is successfully "chewing" table food, but she does not seem to like to actually swallow it.
- absolutely LOVES yogurt! If all else fails, she will always eat a container down to the last spoonful.
- wears 6-9m and 6-12m clothes
- goes to bed between 7:00-7:30 and wakes once for a bottle between 12-4. If she wakes up again before 7am, I will give her another bottle and grab a little more sleep myself!
- now sleeps with several lovies and a blanket to snuggle
- still takes Prevacid for acid reflux, but I am reducing it half a pill every other day with no problems
- takes a morning nap on the go (carseat or stroller) and takes an afternoon nap in her crib for about an hour to two hours. She is not fighting the afternoon nap and will play/stand up/cruise around the crib until she falls asleep. She takes a bottle to nap with her.
- is completely on the move! Maggie crawls wherever she wants to go, pulls herself up, and cruises around furniture
- has a favorite room in the house: the bathroom. She thinks she has hit the jackpot if the lid is open on the potty, and she can splash her hand!
- takes a shower with Mommy every morning since she loves splashing in water so much!
- still plays well independently. Although she is mobile, she still stays nearby and does not get into things she is not supposed to. :)
- has developed seperation anxiety from her mommy, especially if Mommy is in the same room.
- prefers Tuttle's toys over any baby toys
- has zero interest in the television or books. She does not have time to sit still for such nonsense! :)
- is the most content outside in the sunshine
We love you so much, Maggie Moo Bear!
