Wow, it has been a busy month! Taylor turned 9 months old on August 24th, the day after mommy started work again! She has been thoroughly enjoying daycare. Ms. Karen & Ms. Ashley always have great reports about her behavior, napping, eating ,and playing throughout the day. She has even made a new friend, Isabella, who is about 2 months older than her.
We took Taylor to her 9 month checkup today, and here are her stats:
Height: 28.8 inches (81%ile)
Weight: 21 lbs 3 oz. (82%ile)
Head Circumference: 44.8 cm (68%ile)
She did great at the doctor today, although I have to share this funny story. As the doctor was taking off her diaper, she peed all over the table. We cleaned her up, and the doctor left the room to go get a diaper. When she came back, we looked at her and she was sitting in a puddle - she had peed AGAIN! Needless to say, we gave her a nice long bath when we got home!!
She has been such a joy lately. We can't wait to get home to see her every day. She has begun saying "mama" with meaning, and can pull herself up in her crib and jump around. She still loves to walk, but has figured out that crawling is much faster and she can do it by herself, so that has been her preferred means of getting around lately. Our home is about 50% babyproofed - it's quite a process! One of our favorite parts of the day is getting her pajamas on after her bath. She rolls around, shrieking with joy, on our bed for as long as we'll let her. Then, she plays a little game: we hold up her pajamas, and she buries her head in the bed and sticks her butt up in the air. She always picks her head up and smiles at us, like she is teasing us! We repeat over and over and over!
Here is an update of her likes & dislikes.
Taylor likes...
Playing with EVERYTHING (paper, crumbs, chairs, remotes, etc.), her dolly, standing in her crib, saying "mama", being tickled (her left armpit is her most ticklish spot!), her puffs, crawling, chewing on things (even our new leather ottoman...), her new daycare friends, getting her picture taken, dancing (especially to the Leapfrog table ABC song!), cuddling with mommy and daddy, and exploring.
Taylor dislikes...
Getting her diaper changed, actually having to put her pajamas on after bath, loud noises, when mommy sneezes (she looks at me like I've just insulted her!), when mommy leaves the room for any reason, teething, having a cold (she has one right now), green beans, and most of all - being tired!
