RLT is 9 Months Old!

Our little girl is nine months old today!

RLT has grown in the following ways:

Height at Birth  19.75 in.           Height at 9 Months    26.5 in.

Baby Girl is a rock star of a sleeper and flexible at that!  We decided to extend her night time zzz's by pushing her to sleep through her 5:00am feeding to about 7:00am.  One night of crying for about an hour and our girl was on a new routine!  But, with mommy going back to work, she can't quite make it til 8:00am when she would get with Dodi to eat.  So, we have gone back to a 5:30 or 6:00 feeding and then a more delightful awakening for Daddy at 7:30.  Maybe we're spoiling her, but it works for our family!

Bugga has a full-blown case of the Mommies.  She can show off her crocodile tears within seconds of being handed to someone else.  This is more so the case as the afternoon and evening progresses.  Our little love is definitely a morning girl!

Buddy has six teeth and uses them to bite off pieces of melon and some of the cucumbers from Daddy's garden.  She's still experimenting with pureed foods.  Her favorites right now are warmed carrots and those puffs that dissolve in your mouth.  She's starting to use her pinchers to feed herself.

While RLT still rolls on occasion, she has progressed to army crawling.  She will also get up on her hands and knees and start hitching back and forth.  It is so cute!

Sweet Girl is a dancer now.  She loves music.  Her eyes light up, her hips start moving, and her hands bounce up and down.  Sometimes she will wave and clap with others too.  She loves toys that rattle and is developing a preference for duck toys over other stuffed animals.  She also gravitates toward books when she is playing.  (Of course, this makes her mommy and daddy very proud!)
