9 Months Old

Our sweet little 9 MONTH OLD loves to sleep...

sometimes in her swing (just as a last resort),

but mostly in her crib.

Look at all the space she has!
but sleeping just feels better when you are smooshed up against the railings

Millie sometimes gets her arms and legs caught in the railings, but she's quick to tell us to fix it.

Then all is well.

So sassy. She often holds her own bottle now, which we love.

She LOVES her bath tub.

We decided to go with one of the "European" style tubs that are more like a bucket.

When she doesn't like her swing, bumbo, play gym, or parents' singing this tub does the trick.

This girl is going to be a swimmer.

Check out this sweet video. I promise it will put a smile on your face.

We also went to the doctor yesterday for her 9 month check up. This was our first time visiting Dr. Later since we brought her home from the hospital. He was thrilled that she has put on 5 pounds, grown 3 inches taller, and her head is nearly 2 inches bigger since the last time he saw her.

Millie is basically 13 pounds and 24 3/4 inches tall :)

He gave us the go ahead to give her cereal, veggies, and some fruits. He asked us to stay away from juice which is fine by us (less groceries to buy). He also gave us some formula suggestions (see last post).

He encouraged us to call PEEPs, which is a program aimed at helping special needs children in Provo. We've called to schedule a therapist to visit with Millie and see if she needs any help.

Overall everything is great, and we will see him again for her 12 month check up. She's almost a year old. I definitely remember it like it was yesterday. Maybe we'll rent New Moon and eat Cafe Rio a few days before just to celebrate.

I'm always up for celebrating this miracle.
